**Moba Teachers Continue Their Strike: A Fight for Dignified Living Conditions**
In Moba, Congo, the determination of teachers who are members of the Congolese Teachers’ Union (SYECO) is not weakening. Despite the government’s announcement of a 50,000 Congolese franc increase in their salaries, the teachers have decided to continue their strike action. This decision, taken during an extraordinary general assembly, demonstrates the teachers’ determination to fight for dignified living conditions.
Placide Muyumba, permanent secretary of SYECO/Moba, stressed that this salary increase was not enough to meet the needs of teachers, who are facing significant economic difficulties. Faced with this situation, SYECO called on its members to continue the strike and to stay at home for two more weeks, while awaiting new directives.
One of the issues at stake in this strike is also the question of the equitable distribution of the country’s economic resources. As Congolese citizens, teachers are demanding a fairer sharing of national wealth in order to guarantee decent living conditions for the entire population.
Furthermore, teachers in Moba have denounced the deduction of certain amounts from their salaries by TMB Bank, without the reasons for these withdrawals being clearly explained. This situation raises legitimate questions about the transparency and fairness of banking practices towards workers, who already have to face significant financial difficulties.
Faced with these challenges, SYECO/Moba remains determined to continue the fight for decent living conditions for teachers and the entire Congolese population. This strike demonstrates the workers’ desire to make their voices heard and claim their rights, in a difficult economic and social context.
In conclusion, the mobilization of Moba teachers is an example of resistance and solidarity in the face of the challenges they face. Their fight is that of all those who fight for social justice and equity, hoping for significant progress in the recognition and promotion of the teaching profession in Congo.
