In a tense context in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the opposition mobilized on May 20 to demonstrate against the high cost of living and insecurity in the east of the country, as well as to denounce an electoral process that it considers botched. . The march, which brought together political figures such as Martin Fayulu, Moïse Katumbi, Matata Ponyo and Delly Sesanga, was violently repressed by Congolese security forces. The Alliance of Forces for the Well-Being of the Congolese (AFBC), close to the opposition, condemned these brutal repressions and expressed its support for the leaders of the opposition and the victims.
The AFBC also demanded that the perpetrators of this violence be punished and held the power in place responsible for these disproportionate actions. This violent repression is a reminder of the fragility of the political situation in the DRC and the need to continue the fight for the establishment of democracy in the country.
Beyond these events, the DRC continues to face major challenges such as transnational connectivity, security and the fight against sexual violence. The upcoming elections will be crucial for the future of the country and for the continued consolidation of peace and democracy
