The Deputy Prime Minister of National Defense and Veterans Jean Pierre Bemba and the Chief of General Staff of the DRC Armed Forces traveled today to Goma, capital of the province of North Kivu. Their arrival was marked by a speech by Jean-Pierre Bemba, who called on local armed groups to adhere to the vision of the Supreme Commander of the army to restore peace in the region. Unfortunately, an armed attack was reported in the Congo ya Sika neighborhood, causing several casualties.
The electoral context is no exception. The seat allocation bill divides the Senate, with the FCC leading the boycott. Fortunately, voter registration operations have started in the Kwamouth region under good conditions. It is also an opportunity to recall that there are still major challenges to overcome to achieve the inclusion of women in Congolese political life.
In another area, the Barrick Gold Corporation has invested 25 million to save the white rhinos in the Garamba National Park and Hortense Kavuo Maliro, a Congolese politician, has run for the presidency for an inclusive management of the DRC .
Successes are also to be welcomed, with the victory of two Congolese students in the national final of the OHADA international competition to represent the DRC at the 2023 edition of Génies en Herbe.
We will closely follow the evolution of the situation in North Kivu, hoping for better days for all the civilian population, especially in the displaced camps where the massacres continue to occur.
