The creation of a commission dedicated to this objective demonstrates Félix Tshisekedi’s willingness to address this delicate issue in a transparent and inclusive manner.
Faced with criticism from the opposition who fear a possible desire to extend the presidential mandate, President Tshisekedi seeks to ease tensions by promoting a constructive and democratic dialogue. The process of reflection on the constitutional revision must be carried out with responsibility and commitment to the Congolese people.
Ultimately, the President’s speech in Kipushi reaffirms his commitment to youth and national stability. By calling for civic awareness and the defense of patriotic values, Félix Tshisekedi highlights the importance of the participation of all stakeholders in building a democratic and prosperous future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
It is crucial for young Congolese to be informed, educated and involved in the political decisions that will shape their future and that of their country. Vigilance and solidarity are the key words to build together a more just and equitable society.
