The change of leaders at the head of the Disarmament, Demobilization, Community Recovery and Stabilization Program (P-DDRCS) in the Democratic Republic of Congo marks a new stage in the preparation of armed groups for civilian life. According to Serge Tshibangu, the High Representative of the Head of State, this change aims to revitalize the coordination of the program and accelerate the process of demobilization and reintegration of combatants into society.
In an exclusive interview with Radio Okapi, Serge Tshibangu underlines that the appointment of the new facilitators aims to give new impetus to the P-DDRCS and strengthen the implementation of the Nairobi process. This revitalization is essential to achieve the overarching objective of reintegrating former combatants into civilian life and fostering peace and stability in the country.
On October 20, the President of the Republic made a change within the National Coordination of the P-DDRCS. Jean-Bosco Bahala was appointed program coordinator, supported by William Kapuku as deputy national coordinator in charge of technical and operational issues, and Sylvie Kayomo as deputy national coordinator in charge of administrative and financial issues.
This new leadership will bring new life to the P-DDRCS and will strengthen actions in favor of the demobilization and reintegration of combatants into civilian life. This is a crucial step for consolidating peace in the DRC and building a peaceful and prosperous future for all citizens.
In conclusion, the change of leaders at the head of P-DDRCS in the DRC constitutes an opportunity to revitalize the program and accelerate the process of demobilization and reintegration of former combatants. This is an important step for the consolidation of peace in the country and for the construction of a better future for all Congolese.
