The news in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been rich lately and events are multiplying. Between carrier strikes, army investigations and deadly attacks, tension is rising in the country as elections approach.
To find lasting solutions and avoid strikes by transporters, Mimy Mopunga, political scientist and member of civil society, recommends that the State organize public transport and establish a line of conduct to be followed. She also insists on the need to redevelop the roads and install surveillance cameras to encourage drivers to adopt responsible driving.
Regarding the army investigations and the requisitions in the homes of the opponent Moise Katumbi and his special adviser in detention, Mimy Mopunga proposes that the law be respected and that the investigations be carried out in an objective and impartial manner. She also considers it important that all citizens, without discrimination, can participate in elections.
Faced with the multiplication of violent attacks in the country, particularly in Beni and Maluku, lasting solutions must be found to guarantee the safety of civilian populations. Political actors also have a role to play in banning hate speech and messages and working towards peace.
In the DRC, the news is rich and diverse, ranging from investment in the preservation of biodiversity to the death of Professor Lobo Kanza Kanza. However, it is important to remain focused on the country’s major issues such as security, peace and political stability as the elections approach.
