Title: Congolese youth appeal to the president for greater participation and new opportunities
Introduction :
Congolese youth, represented by the Common Youth Front, recently sent an appeal to the President of the Republic, urging him to give a greater place to youth in public management and to promote youth entrepreneurship for the job creation. During a press conference in Kinshasa, the Common Youth Front also expressed its desire for renewal of the political class and criticized the maintenance of the same political figures in power for decades.
A call for the active participation of young people:
The Common Youth Front made its voice heard in favor of the active participation of young Congolese in the decision-making sphere. According to Don-Israel Mbuyi, president of the Common Youth Front, it is time to break the cycle of oligarchy imposed by previous generations. Young people ask the president not to give in to pressure from certain political actors and to create a surprise by including young people in the formation of the future government.
The need for a renewal of the political class:
The Common Youth Front calls into question the continued existence of the same political figures in power for decades. He believes that this situation prevents the renewal of the political class and limits opportunities for young leaders. Young Congolese question the fact that even within political parties, the lists of candidates do not take youth into account. They therefore call for real openness and consideration of the aspirations of Congolese youth.
Promote youth entrepreneurship for job creation:
In its appeal, the Common Youth Front also highlights the importance of youth entrepreneurship for job creation. Based on the words of the President of the Republic in his inauguration speech, young people are calling for concrete actions to promote youth entrepreneurship and thus promote the country’s economic growth. They emphasize that Congolese youth cannot be relegated to the future and wish to be considered an active force in building the country.
Conclusion :
The Common Youth Front launched a strong appeal to the President of the Republic, asking for greater participation of Congolese youth in public management and the promotion of youth entrepreneurship for job creation. Young people also want a renewal of the political class to offer new opportunities to young leaders. It is time to take into account the aspirations and talents of Congolese youth to build a better future for the country together.
