On the occasion of the commemoration of the year 14 of the double assassination of Floribert Chebeya and Fidèle Bazana, calls for justice are becoming more and more pressing. The Chebeya widow and children once again demanded the opening of a new trial to judge the alleged masterminds of this heinous crime, including General John Numbi and Joseph Kabila.
These demands are legitimate and necessary to guarantee justice and fight against the impunity of the powerful. Truth and justice must prevail, regardless of the status of the accused. The return of Fidèle Bazana’s body is also a legitimate demand, in order to allow her family to mourn with dignity.
The mausoleum where Floribert Chebeya now rests must indeed become a place of memory and contemplation for all those who fight for human rights. It is a strong symbol that recalls the incessant fight for justice and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The reopening of the trial is a crucial step in shedding light on this double assassination. The convictions handed down during the first trial are a first step, but it is imperative that those intellectually responsible for this crime are also brought to justice. The appearance of General John Numbi and Joseph Kabila is essential for the truth to emerge and justice to be fully served.
During this time of commemoration, it is important to remember these men who sacrificed their lives in defense of human rights. Their fight must continue to inspire future generations and remind us that the fight for justice and democracy is a constant fight.
In conclusion, the demand for justice and truth in the case of the double assassination of Floribert Chebeya and Fidèle Bazana is legitimate and necessary. It is essential that those responsible for this crime are brought to justice and that the memory of these courageous men is honored. The fight for justice and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo must continue, in memory of those who gave their lives for this noble cause.
