President Félix Tshisekedi’s speech to parliamentarians gathered in congress sparked various and strong reactions, particularly from the opposition party Leadership Gouvernance pour le Développement (LGD) based in North Kivu province. Bruno Mwitoere, federal president of the LGD, expressed doubts about the statements made by the head of state, highlighting a potential inconsistency between these statements and the reality on the ground.
In an interview with Opinion-infos.cd, Bruno Mwitoere criticized Félix Tshisekedi’s speech, highlighting the fact that despite some initial optimism sparked by the president’s remarks, the latter now seemed to ignore the proven failures and continue on a path of lies that are detrimental to the efforts made by the Congolese army. The LGD president particularly focused on the security issue, pointing out the apparent inability of the State to regain control of certain areas held by the M23, while the country is officially under a ceasefire.
The persistent tensions in eastern DRC make this issue crucial, especially as armed conflicts continue to fuel fears and uncertainties among the population. Observers stress the importance for the Congolese government and its regional partners to put in place effective strategies to restore stability and confidence in a region scarred by decades of violence.
As a result, Félix Tshisekedi’s speech is faced with a major challenge: that of regaining the trust of citizens and restoring peace in an area plagued by instability. Expectations are high and criticisms, such as those expressed by Bruno Mwitoere, highlight the need for concerted and effective government action to end the unrest and allow the population to live in a secure and peaceful environment.
In conclusion, the security issue in eastern DRC remains a major priority for the authorities and requires real political will to establish a climate of lasting peace. Local and regional actors must work together to achieve viable and sustainable solutions to end the violence and offer the population the prospect of a more peaceful future.
