Félix Tshisekedi, the president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, had promised to settle in Goma to closely monitor the security situation in the east of the country. However, in a recent interview, he explained that through technology he can monitor the fighting on the ground in real time from his headquarters in Kinshasa.
President Tshisekedi stressed that as Supreme Commander of the DRC Armed Forces, he did not need to physically settle in Goma for things to move forward. Technology allows him to be present virtually and to follow operations closely.
Although his initial promise to settle in Goma raised expectations, President Tshisekedi recalls that his role is to lead and make strategic decisions to guarantee the security of the east of the country. He assures that he remains fully committed to bringing peace and stability to the region.
This decision to monitor the situation remotely may seem surprising, but it is actually a smart use of technology to optimize government action. It allows the president to remain informed and responsive to security challenges.
However, it is important that President Tshisekedi does not limit himself to monitoring the situation from Kinshasa. It must continue to work closely with local authorities and security forces on the ground to develop effective strategies to combat armed groups and restore peace.
In conclusion, although Félix Tshisekedi initially promised to settle in Goma, he is now using technology to closely monitor the security situation in eastern DRC. This approach allows it to be flexible and responsive in its actions, while maintaining its commitment to bringing peace and stability to the region
