Title: “Corneille Nangaa calls for change for efficient and secure management of the DRC”
Introduction :
The President of the Action for the Dignity of Congo and its People (ACDP) party, Corneille Nangaa, spoke recently about the political and security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In a public message, he strongly criticized the status quo in the management of the country and underlined the resurgence of insecurity. Corneille Nangaa also proposes solutions and calls for a dialogue between the actors to set up a credible and inclusive electoral process.
An electoral process questioned:
Corneille Nangaa expressed his dissatisfaction with the ongoing electoral process, calling it a “cocktail of inedible aggregates”. He believes that the current preparations do not reassure either politically or technically, which leads the ACDP to reserve the right to present any candidacy for the elections in their current format. However, he calls on the members and supporters of his party to remain mobilized pending a mandatory reformatting of the process.
Dialogue at the heart of concerns:
For Corneille Nangaa, it is imperative that all the actors concerned gather around a table to discuss the progress of the country. It proposes a dialogue in order to face the current challenges, ward off any apocalyptic prospect and agree on the way in which the elections must be organized to guarantee their credibility, their inclusiveness, their transparency and their fairness. He therefore calls for a pause in the electoral process in order to evaluate it exhaustively and to requalify it in an objective and consensual manner.
Insecurity, a major concern:
Corneille Nangaa also underlines the urgency of the security issue in the DRC. He believes that the current state of siege has shown its limits and calls for its lifting. It also encourages abandoning the idea that the security and well-being of the country depends on others. It proposes to strengthen the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) by providing them with all the necessary means to face security challenges.
Conclusion :
Corneille Nangaa, through his public message, highlights the need for a change in the political and security management of the DRC. It questions the current electoral process and calls for dialogue between actors to ensure credible and inclusive elections. His concern for the security of the country is also underlined. He thus hopes to mobilize the living forces of the nation to face the challenges and find effective solutions for the development and stability of the DRC.
