**Commemoration of the UDPS martyrs: A call for unity and reconciliation**
On this day of commemoration of the UDPS activists who fell in 2016, members of the ruling party gathered to pay tribute to their fallen comrades. The suffrage mass celebrated at the Saint-Dominique parish was an opportunity for the Secretary General of the UDPS, Augustin Kabuya, to launch a vibrant call for unity and reconciliation within the party.
In a speech full of conviction, Augustin Kabuya expressed the need for party members to overcome their differences and come together around the higher interest of their political party. He invited those who had gone astray to come to their senses, stressing that unity was essential to support the President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, who has given his support and confidence to the party.
The message of forgiveness and reconciliation conveyed during the ceremony is of crucial importance in a political context marked by internal tensions. Indeed, cohesion within a party is essential to ensure its stability and its ability to act effectively for the well-being of society. Reconciliation between members helps to strengthen ties and focus energies towards common goals.
The commemorative events were marked by a common desire to remember the fighters who fell in the fight for their ideals, but also to turn the page on past dissensions. The process of commemoration and contemplation thus makes it possible to reconnect with the history of the party and reaffirm the values that underpin it.
At the same time, the worship organized by the dissidents underlines the importance of recognizing the diversity of sensibilities within the same political movement. Despite the differences, it is essential to maintain a constructive dialogue to advance the party’s ideas and actions in a spirit of mutual respect.
In conclusion, the commemoration of the UDPS martyrs in 2016 was an opportunity to recall the importance of unity, forgiveness and reconciliation within the party. These fundamental values are essential to overcome internal turbulence and to build a common future based on solidarity and respect.
