Annan and former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Olusegun Obasanjo said the failure to organise elections in 2016, in conformity with the constitution of the DRC, has created an acute political crisis.
The leaders said they had to sound the alarm before it became too late.
An agreement between Kabila’s ruling coalition and opposition leaders calls for the presidential election to take place by the end of this year, but delays in registering voters and mobilising financing make that increasingly unlikely.
