The go was given at 9.47am and the end of the walk came at 11.22am. Several thousand members and activists of the Front Commun pour le Congo (FCC) had set up a meeting on Place Cohydro at 1ère Rue Limete to storm the small Boulevard Sendwe before falling through the Palais du Peuple, headquarters of Parliament, where a memorandum was to be tabled. This street demonstration started without breakage, slippage, or insults. According to the foals of Joseph Kabila, they wanted to administer a beautiful lesson in democracy and tolerance to their coalition partner, the UDPS, who marched on July 9 resulting in the death of men, material damage in addition to destruction. nasty.
The parliamentary majority wanted, during this great gathering, to demonstrate to the public that it is also a popular majority. Dignitaries from the past regime marked their presence during this peaceful march. In particular, Néhémie Mwilanya, ex-Director of Cabinet of Joseph Kabila, Aubin Minaku, former President of the National Assembly, Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary, Permanent Secretary of the PPRD and unsuccessful candidate for the last presidential election, Raymond Tshibanda, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs , Lambert Minister, former Minister of Communication and Media, Kalev Mutond, former head of intelligence (ANR).
Flags, streamers, etc. were visible during this effervescent morning. What is the message that this fringe of the FCC – CACH coalition wanted to convey to the public?
According to Lambert Mende, the FCC’s march had three axes: first, support for the institutions of the Republic, particularly the elective institutions that we wanted to minorize, namely: the President of the Republic and the Parliament. “No one has the right to step on the national representation, that which embodies the will to act of the Congolese people,” warned the national president of the CCU party. The second axis is the defense and promotion of unity and national cohesion which, again according to Mende, are quite threatened by the resurgence of separatist, regionalist and tribalist discourses.
Finally, Lambert Mende affirmed that the group of which he is a member wanted to express its solidarity with the Congolese people who are suffering because of the institutional dysfunction, the way Covid-19 has been managed, galloping inflation breaking through the basket of the housewife, of insecurity, of the war in the east of the country,… “We also challenged ourselves because we are partly responsible for all that”, recognized the man with the easy talk.
As for Shadary, he didn’t mince words during the march: “The Prime Minister is not a running boy”. This senior PPRD and FCC executive alluded to recent presidential orders made public without the knowledge of the Head of Government, Sylvestre Ilunga Ilunkamba, one of theirs. The crisis is real at the top of the state. Not only the members of the rocking FCC – CACH coalition, but also the entire political class and civil society must work together or dialogue in order to reach a broad consensus.
