Delly Sesanga: an attack denounced, a mobilized population
July 29, 2023 will remain a significant date for Delly Sesanga, the president of Envol and declared presidential candidate of December 2023. After landing in Kananga, in the capital of Kasaï Central province, he was attacked at the airport exit. In a press conference held the next day, Delly Sesanga wanted to thank the population for its support and to denounce the power in place, accused of having maintained this aggression.
Despite this attack, Delly Sesanga underlined the presence of a courageous and determined population which gave him a warm welcome. According to him, the population of Kasaï Central understands his speech, his actions and his commitments, and demands a change for his development. He criticized the record of the current President of the Republic, stressing that nothing has been done to meet the expectations of the population, particularly with regard to infrastructure projects.
Delly Sesanga described the regime in place as “the power of regression for Kasaï Central”. He highlighted the lack of concrete achievements and the non-continuation of projects already initiated by the previous regime, leaving the population waiting. According to him, the population has been deceived by lies and now prefers to remain silent in the face of what he considers to be the inability of the authorities to meet their needs.
This attack aroused great emotion and solidarity mobilization of the population of Kasai Central. Delly Sesanga can count on growing support in his presidential race in December 2023. Claiming to carry a message of change and development, he intends to continue to defend the interests of the Congolese population.
This attack is a reminder once again of the challenges faced by political figures in the DRC and the need to guarantee the security and integrity of all actors involved in the political life of the country. Delly Sesanga has already affirmed her determination to continue her fight for a better Congo, despite the obstacles that stand in her way.
The case of the attack on Delly Sesanga in Kananga continues to arouse reactions. An investigation is underway to shed light on the circumstances of this attack and punish those responsible. While waiting for the results of this investigation, Delly Sesanga can count on the support of the Congolese population who hope for real and tangible change for the future of the country
