Combler le fossé entre les rêves et la réalité : un appel à un leadership éthique au Congo
Chaque politicien congolais devrait garder à l'esprit que chaque dollar détourné par la corruption contribue à la pauvreté des 60 millions de Congolais qui vivent avec moins de 1,90 dollar par jour. Chaque route qu'ils ne construisent pas les rend responsables des milliers de personnes qui meurent dans des accidents sur ces routes et de celles qui meurent de faim parce que l'état des routes empêche la nourriture et les ressources de leur parvenir…
« Touche pas à ma constitution » : mauvais cri de ralliement ?
Une question se pose alors, pourquoi le régime de Tshisekedi décideraient-ils d’attaquer cet article ainsi que toute la constitution alors que le peuple Africain assiste au retour en force du panafricanisme anti-impérialiste incarné par les révolutions dans l’Alliance des États du Sahel ? Devrait-on penser que le couple impérialisme-néocolonialisme ne fait que prendre une position défensive ? Ce qui est sûr est que les Fatshigans veulent détourner l’attention et l’énergie des Congolais de la lutte contre la kleptocratie toxique qui ronge les institutions de la république. Les Congolais conscients doivent être prudent et ne pas perdre de vue le vrai combat et le vrai ennemi…
Distorted Version of Democracy: Can I Choose My Opponent From The Lesser Of Two Evils?
What ends up happening is that the people have to narrow down their demands and will to fit whatever either party can offer. This is a distorted version of democracy because instead of the parties reflecting the will of the people, the people have to reflect the will of the parties which can lead to some unthinkable mentalities…
White Supremacy, Yet A Factor Against International Solidarity
Nevertheless, paraphrasing Walter Rodney, white people are an enemy of the oppressed people, until proven otherwise (Walter Rodney rightfully applied the same logic to Black or Afro intellectuals/elites). Hence, only on the battlefield, only by sharing the blood under the sounds of machine guns, will white supremacy be destroyed. Solidarity will not be taken for granted or forced upon people as Imperialist US and EU tried to suggested to the people of the world regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine. True solidarity will be built and earn through the revolutionary struggle. Not only between white and non-white, but also among all oppressed people...
Let’s talk about confrontations
The other challenge of confronting people from the oppressors or privileged groups is to do with being afraid to hurt or disappoint the “good and honest” oppressors or those who are “helping” us. This can lead people from the third group to deem their words, to accommodate the truth to the oppressor, and to try to not be too subversive. This is a trick, truth is only truth when it is given as it is and should be. I mean, from a personal opinion again, if the oppressors feel attacked, they have to question their positionality, and oppressed people should never feel uncomfortable saying why they are uncomfortable…
