Fatshimetryres, the leading newspaper for current affairs in the Democratic Republic of Congo, delves into the heart of the inspiring initiative of young politicians who are mobilizing for a better future in the country. Indeed, this committed youth transcends political divisions to launch the campaign “Beyond the conflict, let us be these landmarks”, an innovative initiative that aims to rethink national identity and build a promising future for Congo.
The movement, led by emerging political figures such as Jonathan David, national president of young politicians and entrepreneurs, advocates a break with the practices of the past, marked by anti-values and divisions. The objective is clear: to establish a culture of ethics, civic engagement and individual responsibility within Congolese society. Indeed, it is time to turn the page on the conflicts that have marked the country’s history and to build together a solid and unified future.
The call for unity launched by these young politicians resonates like a cry from the heart for a new era in Congo. They invite civil society, economic actors, political leaders and all Congolese to engage collectively in building a strong and prosperous nation. This desire to come together goes beyond partisan divisions and reflects a common vision for a reconciled Congo moving towards progress.
Hissant TITINA, vice-president of the youth of the CNARC political party, pertinently underlines the need to change mentalities to build a Congo that respects the environment and international ethical standards. His observation on the difference in perception of societal behavior between the DRC and other countries highlights the importance of collective awareness to establish common values and exemplary civic behavior.
This committed youth, supported by the Congolese diaspora, plans to extend its initiative throughout the country, with a series of awareness-raising activities planned for the official launch of the campaign on January 25, 2025. This mobilization demonstrates the desire of young Congolese to be actively involved in building a new Congo, where unity, responsibility and civic engagement are the key words.
In conclusion, the campaign “Beyond the conflict, let us be these landmarks” carried by these young politicians is a symbol of hope and commitment for the future of the Democratic Republic of Congo. By refusing to be locked into the divisions of the past, they are paving the way for a new era of reconciliation, solidarity and progress for the Congo. Their message resonates as a call for collective action, for the construction of a common future and for the positive transformation of Congolese society.
