Current events in the Democratic Republic of Congo raise crucial questions about the trajectory of the nation and its capacity to embody the fundamental values of independence and development. After decades of independence, it is alarming to note that these values seem to have become empty shells in the Congolese political landscape, giving way to a deep existential void.
The observation is bitter: current governance struggles to bring together the necessary elements to guarantee the effective functioning of the State. An ambient climate of confusion and political malpractice seems to corrupt the workings of the state apparatus, thus contributing to the weakening of the socio-economic fabric of the country. Faced with this worrying reality, it is imperative to question the collective and citizen consciousness which seems to diminish over the course of political crises.
In this context of political decay, where personal interests take precedence over the general interest, it is essential to recall the importance of preserving national unity as an essential good for the survival of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Regardless of political differences, it is essential to work together to protect collective achievements and hard-won spaces of freedom.
Serge Kadima Luabeya highlights the urgency of restoring meaning to Congolese citizenship, of reconnecting with the values that led to the country’s independence. Faced with political excesses and attempts at destabilization, it is fundamental to reaffirm attachment to the Nation as the basis of Congolese identity.
In these times of political torment, let us remember that the nation is the common heritage of all Congolese. Preserving this collective wealth means working for a better future, where democracy and progress will be the pillars of a more just and equitable society. It is up to each of us to act as responsible citizens, driven by the desire to build together a brighter future for our dear country.
