Following the tragic assassination of the former Congolese Minister of Transport, Chérubin Okende Senga, the Congolese authorities held a security meeting in Kinshasa to discuss the measures to be taken. According to the information available, a preliminary investigation is underway to determine the persons involved in this crime. In order to clarify this case quickly and transparently, a broader commission of inquiry, including foreign security services, will be set up.
The Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde Kyenge, brought together all the heads of the security services to take stock of the situation and to guarantee security in Kinshasa and throughout the country. The government undertakes to shed full light on this heinous act which goes against the principles of the Republic.
In this sensitive period, when the city of Kinshasa is about to host the Games of La Francophonie and when elections are looming on the horizon, it is essential to preserve the stability and security of the region. The government spokesperson stressed the importance of not giving in to psychosis and continuing to work to fulfill the commitments made.
Faced with the accusations made by certain opponents against the power in place, the Minister of Communication and Media recalled that it was premature to make hasty statements, because an in-depth multidisciplinary investigation is about to begin. It is essential to let the authorities do their job to determine responsibility and demand accountability.
Prime Minister Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde expressed his dismay at this despicable act and paid tribute to Chérubin Okende, who served in his government for two years. As head of government, he affirmed Chérubin Okende’s passion for the Congo and pledged to do everything possible to see justice done.
This tragic assassination highlights the challenges faced by political opponents in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the quest for democracy in the country. It is crucial to strengthen ties, to show unity and responsibility to preserve social cohesion and guarantee a peaceful political transition.
In parallel to this news, the Democratic Republic of Congo is also facing other challenges, such as a landslide which blocked rail traffic between Mwene-Ditu and Kananga. This situation requires rapid intervention to restore traffic and ensure the safety of the affected populations.
In an international context, the DRC must also manage diplomatic tensions with Rwanda. Presidents Felix Tshisekedi and Paul Kagame are trying to break the ice and find solutions to ease relations between the two countries.
This tragic assassination is a reminder of the importance of action for democracy and peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The famous doctor Denis Mukwege launched a powerful appeal, calling for everyone to mobilize to save the country and guarantee a democratic future. It is essential to work together to overcome the challenges and build a stronger and freer Congo.
This political crime threatens Congolese democracy and highlights the need for a reorganization of the armed forces to build a more efficient and better structured Congolese army, particularly in the Ituri region where violent clashes have taken place.
In conclusion, the assassination of Chérubin Okende is a heinous act that upsets the Democratic Republic of Congo. The authorities have taken steps to shed light on this case and ensure everyone’s safety. In the face of this tragedy, it is crucial to preserve stability, strengthen democracy and work together to build a better future for the country and its citizens
