Meticulously articulating hot current affairs, the show “Fatshimetrie” pays particular attention to crucial issues that shape the political and social landscape of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This week, the verdict handed down by the Kinshasa/Gombe Military Court in the case concerning Corneille Nangaa and the Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC) has attracted all the attention.
The coordinator of the AFC and the main leaders of the M23 were found guilty and sentenced to death, a decision that raises questions about the fairness of military justice. The expert perspective of Me Annie Masengu, a member of civil society in Kongo Central, provides essential insight into the legal and political issues of this case.
Continuing the debate, the show highlights the persistence of the M23’s actions despite the ceasefire in force, thus raising the major challenges to be overcome to achieve a lasting resolution of the conflict. The participation of Monulphe Bosso, a seasoned journalist and correspondent in the DRC for Radio Transéquatorial, enriches the analyses with his expertise on the regional and national dynamics at play.
The third theme addressed concerns the divergences within the Sacred Union regarding the candidates potentially designated for the final office of the Senate, as well as the questions raised by the budget for the year 2023. In a spirit of transparency and civic engagement, the collective of young leaders of Moanda in Kongo Central is demanding clarification on the use of funds from oil royalties, emphasizing the importance of accountability in the management of the country’s financial resources.
Finally, the intervention of Georges Berghezan, associate researcher at the Research and Information Group on Peace and Security, offers an international perspective on the security situation in the DRC, shedding light on the regional issues that have impacted the country for more than two decades.
Through a sharp analysis and a diversity of points of view, “Fatshimetrie” positions itself as a true observatory of the sensitive issues that animate the public debate in the Democratic Republic of Congo, inviting reflection and collective awareness to build together a fairer and more equitable future.
