Felix Tshisekedi is facing his maiden test as president of DR Congo -- not from rivals in the political arena, as many have expected, but from striking workers.Since the December 30 elections, labour unrest in the public sector has exploded as unions, eyeing a new regime headed by a former opposition leader, demand back payment of wages and a crackdown on cronyism.Stoppages have hit transport, a key port, television, insurance and the fire service and were continuing on Wednesday as Tshisekedi was in Kenya on his first foreign tour.
