The awakening of the opposition in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The political situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been in turmoil since May 20, 2023, when the opposition decided to change its method and break the image that stuck to it, that of an opposition ” soft “. Since then, she has made her voice heard through street demonstrations, public statements and other actions.
On this occasion, the forces of order were suddenly repressed, creating a real shock in the population who had wondered until then if this opposition was in a position to change the situation of Congolese politics. It is no longer time to procrastinate, what matters now is to create lasting unity and consensus.
In this perspective, the development of a coherent and structuring program coupled with the capacity for implementation is crucial to avoid another alternation without alternative. However, it is not enough just to demonstrate, it is essential to propose a serious and feasible alternative.
Pending the evolution of the situation, Western chancelleries are closely following developments in the DRC with the hope that the country may experience a real political alternation. The future of the DRC is in the hands of the Congolese opposition, it is time for them to seize the opportunity to change the destiny of the country and to finally take advantage of all the potential of this great and magnificent country.
