The plebiscite platforms that were imposed for dialogue and a peaceful transition by respecting the Constitution and the organization of elections to the eased outcome can be explained by the fear felt by the Congolese to see their dive back into a cycle of violence with unknown consequences.

We can remember that the Congolese are aware of the issues and to truly cares about a definitive return of peace in their country and its consolidation. They really appreciate the efforts made by each political grouping and civil society tending to entrench the culture of peace in the DRC.

In view of the above, Echoes of opinion can be estimated pleased with his approach by which it referred a twin goals: whether the Congolese are concerned about the definitive return of peace in their country and how they appreciate efforts of each platform or political grouping and civil society for this purpose. The results demonstrated sufficiently that the Congolese do not want to come to a confrontation between the people of a camp it is.

Thus, politicians or leaders of various groups can learn from and work so as to give satisfaction to a people who have suffered too much from the atrocities of the internal confrontation or wars of aggression.

The results of a poll not being fixed data, they can also change according to the opinion.

Echos of opinion welcomes all actors of peace in the DRC, depending on how their efforts have been recognised by the Congolese through political groupings and civil society of which they are prime movers.
