The Prime Minister requested the support and prayers of the Catholic faithful, particularly Catholic mothers, to carry out her mission of restoring peace and promoting the development of the country.

The Prime Minister’s mobilization and her call for solidarity demonstrate her determination to work for a better future for her country.
In this crucial period, marked by the impasse in peace talks and the persistence of violence in the east of the country, it is essential that the Congolese authorities, the international community and civil society join forces to find lasting solutions to the security and humanitarian challenges affecting the population.
