The head of state’s roving ambassador, Claude Ibalanky, is being talked about. In a tweet, he denounces the evils that plague Congolese society and warns of disastrous consequences if nothing is done to stop them. Among these evils, he cites the embezzlement of state property, the spoliation of land, the degradation of morals, the proliferation of armed groups and the abuse of social networks. He urges the Congolese to act quickly to cut the root of the evil and build a fairer society for them and future generations.
Anti-corruption, social justice, national security, everything goes! The former Coordinator of the National Monitoring Mechanism of the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement is also calling for restrictions on social networks in the name of national security. Words that aroused strong reactions among the Congolese and the web.
Beyond the appeal, the urgency must be to act concretely to get out of the worrying situation in which the Democratic Republic of Congo finds itself. The proliferation of armed groups, corruption, insecurity, are all evils that threaten national cohesion and the future of the country. It is time to take drastic measures to fix it.
Suez International, which is committed to providing access to drinking water in the Kasai Central Province, Perse, which provides motorcycles to strengthen education, or the ICC on a mission to put an end to sexual violence in the DRC, all these initiatives are to be welcomed. But we must go beyond good intentions and tackle the root causes of the crisis. Political, economic and social reforms are urgently needed to pull the country up.
For this, a general mobilization of the population and political and economic actors is necessary. Congo-Kinshasa needs collective awareness and a common vision to get out of this spiral of insecurity. Pointless debates will only accentuate the crisis. It is therefore urgent to act before it is too late.
In the next few days we will be interested in all these evils that are eating away at Congolese society, in the meantime let’s be well
