In the Democratic Republic of Congo, investing in books is a necessity to promote the social and cultural transformation of the country. The book transcends the barriers of ignorance, encourages empathy and nourishes critical thinking. To promote literature, reading and intellectual production, we must develop well-stocked libraries, programs to promote reading, subsidies for local authors and make literature accessible to all. The book is a refuge, it opens the doors to otherness, strengthens citizenship and promotes mutual respect. By investing in books, the DRC is investing in its own future and the intellectual development of its population. Knowledge may seem dangerous, but remaining ignorant is even more dangerous. The DRC must have confidence in a better future, where books will be an engine of transformation and development.

The University of Kinshasa recently inaugurated its renovated student accommodation, providing students with an environment conducive to their well-being. The rehabilitation of UNIKIN homes was possible thanks to the initiative of President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. During the launch ceremony, measures were announced to ensure sanitation, maintenance and the creation of catering areas. The housing project, called “Ndaku na Campa”, was built to international standards and students had to pay a deposit to access it. This renovation contributes to improving the living conditions of students and reinforces the image of the university as a quality institution.

Bukondo wa Hangi’s book, “Treatise on Bahunde Civilization,” highlights the importance of the cultural and traditional practices of African people, particularly the Bahunde people.

Focusing on the people of Kivu, it highlights the essential role of ancestors in resolving conflicts and making important decisions. His work is an invitation to reflect on our cultural heritage and to preserve our traditions. The book encourages us to recognize and value these practices which represent our cultural identity and offer valuable lessons about our past and our future. By reestablishing a connection with our ancestors, we can find answers to the challenges of our modern society.

The Democratic Republic of Congo mourns the loss of Professor André Masiala Masolo, eminent intellectual and former Minister of National Education. An expert in educational sciences, he has dedicated himself to the fight against the social problems that affect Congolese youth. In particular, he was a fervent defender of education as a lever for development. By writing several works, he raised society’s awareness of the situation of street children and the importance of taking responsibility for their education. His disappearance leaves an immense void in the intellectual and educational landscape of the DRC. We pay tribute to this exceptional man and hope that his legacy will inspire future generations to continue his fight to make education an engine of development in the DRC.

The influence of money on our behavior is undeniable. Receiving money can cause harmful behavioral changes such as selfish behavior, less helpfulness to others, and decreased generosity. It is important not to let money define our value as a human being, to be humble, not to compromise our principles and not to neglect our social responsibility. By using our money responsibly, we can create a balance between our material aspirations and our inner well-being, thereby avoiding the pitfalls of money.
