In a recent interview broadcast on the Congolese National Radio and Television, the President of the Republic Félix Tshisekedi addressed the security situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). According to him, the Congolese armed forces are experiencing a rise in power on the battlefield, thus opposing the Rwandan army which would have taken advantage of the weaknesses of the Congolese authorities to maintain instability in the region.
In his statements, President Tshisekedi showed optimism about the situation in Goma, capital of North Kivu. Despite pessimistic predictions, he says Goma has not fallen and will not fall, calling on Congolese to trust the government.
Moreover, President Tshisekedi stressed that thanks to technological advances, it is no longer necessary for him to travel to the field to follow the fighting. From his headquarters, he can follow the evolution of events in real time thanks to technology and recent acquisitions by the Congolese army.
This speech by President Tshisekedi highlights his determination to strengthen the Congolese armed forces and guarantee security in the east of the country. His displayed confidence in Goma’s resilience and his use of technology to oversee operations testify to his willingness to end insecurity in the region.
It is encouraging to note that President Tshisekedi is seeking to reassure the population and to affirm his commitment to resolving the security crisis in eastern DRC. The growing strength of the Congolese armed forces, combined with the intelligent use of technological resources, could help restore stability and peace in this troubled region.
Nevertheless, it is important to stress that the security situation in the DRC remains complex and that it will take a continuous and coordinated effort to overcome the challenges that arise. The Congolese government, with the support of the international community, will need to redouble its efforts to end the violence and promote lasting security in the east of the country.
In conclusion, President Tshisekedi’s interview reveals his determination to strengthen the Congolese armed forces and resolve the security crisis in eastern DRC. His displayed confidence in Goma’s resistance and use of technology to oversee operations show his commitment to security and stability in the region. However, there is still work to be done and international cooperation will be essential to achieve a lasting solution
