Title: The challenges of democracy and society in DR Congo: Delly Sesanga launches the 2nd Envol congress in Boma
Introduction :
Delly Sesanga, declared presidential candidate in DR Congo, inaugurated the 2nd congress of his party, Envol, in Boma in the province of Kongo central. Placed under the theme of democracy and society, this congress is of great importance in a context where the country is experiencing major difficulties on the political, security and economic levels. Delly Sesanga calls on the members of his party to reflect on the challenges to be met both for the future of their political party and for that of the country.
The critical situation of the country:
In his opening speech, Delly Sesanga provides a clear assessment of the current situation in DR Congo. He emphasizes that all sectors of national life are in decline, with an unspeakable setback which weighs heavily on the Congolese people. On the security front, the gradual deterioration of the situation is reflected in a resurgence of insecurity fueled by the military activism of the M23 supported by Rwanda. This situation endangers the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. In addition, a humanitarian crisis has set in with the increase in the number of internally displaced people. Economically and socially, the Congolese are suffering from soaring prices which affect their purchasing power and keep them in increasing poverty.
The challenges of the Envol congress:
Faced with this alarming reality, Delly Sesanga calls on the members of Envol to reflect on two major axes: the future of the party and that of the Congo. This congress provides the opportunity to evaluate the political journey of Envol as a group engaged in the republican and democratic struggle, while drawing lessons from the difficulties encountered. It is also a question of making crucial decisions regarding the party’s participation in the elections next December. Delly Sesanga highlights the importance of participating in democratic, transparent, free and inclusive elections to ensure real political change in the country.
Themes covered at the congress:
The Envol congress in Boma will be an opportunity to address several essential cross-cutting themes. First of all, the political position of the party facing the electoral deadlines of 2023 and the electoral strategies to adopt will be discussed. Then, it will be a question of defining Envol’s company project and establishing a road map for the next five years. Finally, internal reforms to the party will be considered, in particular the revision of the statutes and the flexibility of provisions to face future challenges.
Conclusion :
The 2nd Envol congress in Boma marks a crucial stage in the political journey of the party and in the fight for democracy in DR Congo. Delly Sesanga calls on its members to reflect on both national and partisan issues in order to find solutions to get the country out of the current crisis. This congress represents a unique opportunity to lay the foundations for a better future, by resolutely committing to democratic elections and real political change in DR Congo.
