In Congo-Kinshasa, declarations are raining in every direction on the sine die returns of the elections as Corneille Nangaa had said, loud and clear, on July 7, 2017, on the antennas of TV5 WORLD. The Congolese League for Peace, Human Rights and Elections (LICOPADEL) strongly opposed yesterday, Tuesday 11 July 2017, in a statement read by Mr Patrick Pindu, Considers illegal. It judges it, without ambiguity, of arbitrariness. For this reference is not based on any evaluation report or on a field study made public. Patrick Pindu, a leading lawyer at the Court of Appeal and a fervent defender of human rights, stresses that this action constitutes a serious violation of the right to vote, which is a fundamental prerogative guaranteed to all Congolese by the ” Article 5 of the Constitution of the country and Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Indeed, it calls for vigilance on the part of the Congolese population following the maneuvers of the CENI and the Congolese political players, of all confused tendencies who are in the same games. Having marched on democracy and good governance, Corneille Nangaa and his office are called to resign because of their inability to organize the elections within the deadline stipulated in the Agreement of 31 December 2016.

In addition, LICOPADEL is asking the Head of State, Joseph Kabila, to report to the Congolese people in the face of the crisis that is set to appear in the days to come. It denounces and condemns the participation of the president of the CENI in violation of the right of the Congolese to vote leaders of their choice on December 31, 2017. On this occasion, LICODEPAL officially launched its first issue of its quarterly newspaper “TRANSPARENCY” . The latter is a channel through which notions of democracy, good governance and civil rights will be disseminated free of charge.

DECLARATION OF LICOPADEL ON THE DECLARATION OF THE ELECTIONS ANNOUNCED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE CENI

LICOPADEL DENOUNCES AND CONDEMNS CENI PRESIDENT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT OF THE CONGOLES TO VOTE THE DIRECTORS OF THEIR CHOICES TO 31 DECEMBER 2017

The President of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), Mr. Corneille Nangaa Yobeluo, has just announced, for the umpteenth time, the “impossibility” of organizing presidential, legislative and local elections in the Republic of Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The referral sine die of the holding of elections is considered illegal and arbitrary by the Congolese League for Peace, Human Rights and Elections, LICOPADEL because it is not based on any evaluation report or a study Made public.

This action constitutes a serious violation of the right to vote, which is a fundamental prerogative guaranteed to all Congolese by Article 5 of the Constitution of the country and Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Indeed, the said elections should be held since November 2016, within the constitutional deadlines and terms. In exceptional cases, they were referred on a date to be fixed by the CENI before December 2017 in accordance with the Comprehensive and Inclusive Political Agreement of the Interdiocesan Center of Kinshasa of December 31, 2016.

As President of a public institution in support of Democracy, any decision by Nangaa to change the period during which the elections should be held should be written, motivated and taken in accordance with the relevant procedures. For not having done so, Nangaa engages her personal personality.

Faced with the lack of documented justification for the comments made by the President of the CENI, the members of the National Executive Committee and the National Executive Secretariat of the Congolese League for Peace, Human Rights and Elections, in LICOPADEL believe that NGOs And all civil society supported by the entire Congolese population should challenge the way they defend human rights.

They must, on the one hand, re-educate the primary sovereign by explaining to him why he must regain his right to vote systematically violated. On the other hand, they must attract Mr. Nangaa before the judicial or republican authorities, for violation of human rights, in this case the right of the Congolese people to appoint representatives of their choice.

Indeed, voting is a fundamental right granted to all Congolese to give a mandate, legally and regularly, to one or more leaders to manage the public affairs, with the obligation to report to him.

It makes possible the questioning on the management of peace, security and well-being of all. It makes it possible to sanction the leaders of the three traditional powers separately and to require them to respect the Constitution.

Moreover, respect for the right to vote is the guarantee of good political, economic and social governance. It concurs in the construction of a just and dignified society to which all humanity aspires.

On the other hand, abuse of the right to vote affects the exercise and enjoyment of all other rights. It motivates the repression of the rights and freedoms of expression of political opinion, thought or conscience. It underlies violations of the rights to economic well-being, decent work and adequate wages, formal education, health and basic infrastructure. It also facilitates abuses against women, children and vulnerable people.

In short, the members of the National Executive Committee and the National Executive Secretariat of the Congolese League for Peace, Human Rights and Elections, in the LICOPADEL sense, believe that Mr. Corneille Nangaa Yobeluo should know that his action to send sine die Arbitrarily, constitutes a violation of the right to vote of the Congolese people.

It deprives the primary sovereign of his prerogative to designate the leaders of his choice. It destroys the mechanism of citizen control of good political, economic and social governance. Consequently, it engages its personal responsibility.

Freedom, respect for human rights and the principle of honest and periodic election by universal suffrage are values ​​that are essential elements of democracy. In turn, democracy becomes a natural environment for the protection and effective realization of human rights. These values ​​are embodied in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and further development in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which embodies a range of political rights and civil liberties that are the pillars of true democracy.

In conclusion, LICOPADEL is opposed to the postponement of the elections in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and calls on the Congolese population to remain vigilant following the maneuvers of the CENI and the Congolese political actors of all tendencies in the same games .

In addition, LICOPADEL asks the president of the CENI and all his office to resign if they are unable to organize the presidential, national and provincial elections they promised the Congolese people first in December 2016 and then In December 2017.

My heartfelt wish is that this forum of all actors of this kind will become a framework for reflection, evaluation, guidance and strategic planning in order to coordinate our various actions for a 50/50 world, 2030. I also invite all ministers and heads of provincial gender divisions to reflect on the mechanisms to ensure greater technical and financial involvement of the Central Government and the provincial governments in This Forum, “she said in her address. Shortly before closing her remarks, she expressed a strong desire to see the present assizes bringing the two parties together to strengthen the ties, through hard work during these three days, to favor only the interest of the Woman, and the well-being of the entire Congolese nation, because together, she insists, we will achieve great achievements.

The date of 5 June of each year is dedicated to the International Environment Day. This celebration is about promoting global awareness, in order to protect the planet and its natural resources. “Bringing people closer to nature”, is the theme chosen for 2017. With a view to inviting the whole of humanity to reflect on how man, who is part of nature and who depends on it, must to behave.

It is with this in mind that the 4th edition of the FESTIVERT (Green Festival) took place from 5 to 13 May 2017 in Boma, in the province of Kongo Central, to raise awareness of the values ​​of Nature and growing environmental problems.

The erosion and spread of desertification, the proliferation of greenhouse gases and climate change, the decline in the biological resources of animals and plants, the widespread pollution of soils and groundwater, the risks of reducing the layer Of ozone are, among others, the questions developed and supported with sufficiently evocative examples.

“Their consequences immediately threaten our future and that of future generations. So, it is important that the population is aware of this information, that it is sensitized on environmental issues, “said the Director of FESTIVERT and coordinator of CAREC (Cartel of Artists Civic Educators).

For Lele Michoux Bossay, environmental education should help to foster the development of citizens’ awareness in the course of school life events.

Theater, dance and poetry are the different artistic disciplines used by FESTIVERT as an approach, like workshops and other meetings to raise awareness about natural systems and the protection of the ecosystem.

This approach allowed participants to clearly identify the themes developed. A question-answer game was also organized to assess the level of understanding of young people. The aim is to make pupils of eco-citizens, in order to induce them to change their behavior in favor of the environment.

Pupils trained as amateur actors have presented shows on themes evoking innumerable ways that favor the preservation of nature.

On stage, the artists invited the public to play with them on the theme developed (participatory theater) in order to educate young people on the values ​​of nature.

It should be noted that the organization of this 4th edition was made possible thanks to the support of COFED and received material and pedagogical support from WWF.

Beyond live arts shows, the Festival has distributed tools and other awareness-raising materials, including printed and other comics, with the support of COFED.

Launched in 2014, FESTIVERT, which is a civic and ecological education program, raises awareness among students about the environment, including sanitation, deforestation, wildlife management, water management …

The applied methodology (participatory student theater for pupils, drawing contest around environmental themes, singing) enabled students to easily understand certain notions on nature conservation. The environment is today one of the most powerful vectors for the penetration of science into culture.

The ideal remains to develop new didactic approaches that could have an impact on the knowledge and behaviors of students through this Festival.

After this successful edition, said its Director of FESTIVERT, a training course for some teachers on deforestation will be organized in October and December. This will once again be a school meeting in the context of raising awareness among students and

Thérèse NGOYI, better known by the name of Faya Tess, a freshwater siren, is not a singer to be presented in the Congolese musical arena. This legendary heiress of the rumba made the rain and the good weather alongside the Lord TABU LEY. With an unparalleled clear voice, she is one of the few women who fervently defend and value the original rumba until today.

This explains the importance that Faya Tess attaches to her current project entitled “The Time of the Classics”, the aim of which is to pay tribute to the fathers and veterans of Congolese Rumba.

Based in Paris, the singer pursues with determination this project thanks to the moral support and the supervision of the house “Air World Culture” of Mr. André TETU.

For this series, the Mermaid of fresh water has just launched the 6th volume of “Temps des Classiques”, on the international record market. A compilation of high quality in which she exhumes the best musical compositions signed by the great spirits of the rumba. Through her sublime voice, the singer venerates and dedicates a beautiful part to the legendary groups such as Maquisards, OK Jazz, Afrisa and Bantou of the Capital.

Very enchanting, the work is composed of 16 percussive tracks divided into double audio CD, box. For example, in CD 1, we can find hits like “Boma ngai to bomona” by Madilu System, “Kinshasa” by Tabu Ley, “Monzo” by Josky Kiambukuta, “Zando ya tipo tipo” by Michel Boyibanda and others. While CD 2 is fed on anthological songs such as “Mbawu na ko retrieve yo” and “Inoussa” from the poet Lutumba Simaro, “Zadio” from the immortal guitarist Dr. Nico Kassanda, “Marceline” from Grand Master Franco, ” Ibrahim “by Dino Vangu, etc.

Bravo the artist!

Artistically, this series is the expression of a fantastic work that was realized with the assistance of the giants Congolese artists. The singer has picked up specifically, with a feminine seductive touch that deserves a particular attention from music lovers, hit hits.

Like the soft voice of Faya Tess, the work experienced the muscular intervention of the ancestor Nyboma Kanta as well as Wuta Mayi, two icons of the rumba whose vocal powers illuminated the work.

On the other hand, the irrefutable technicality of the indefatigable Caen Madoka, which brought rhythmic tone with its magic touch to the solo guitar, bass and accompaniment, was noted. All of them have worked tirelessly to achieve this multidimensional project.

However, the former diva of Afrisa expressed its gratitude to the two great patrons of African culture. It is particularly the Master Alexis Vincent Gomez and the Mayor Hugues Ngouélondelé, for their support to this project, to perpetuate the rumba which has become an intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO.

Overall, the 6 volumes are a selection of unheard-of songs that sometimes characterize the relevance of a generation of music “Fiesta & Odemba”, two great schools of Congolese rumba.

At the summit of the African Union in Addis Ababa, the Heads of State and Government adopted a resolution on the establishment of an African Youth Development Fund. This resolution, it should be said, is the first of this summit. And, thus, confirms the leadership of the DRC through the person of Francine Muyumba, President of the Pan-African Union of Youth (UPJ) on the continental political agora. At least that is the opinion of several observers in Addis Ababa. “Taking full advantage of the demographic dividend by investing in Youth” is the theme for this meeting, the second and last of its kind for 2017.

The agenda of the day included the report by President Idriss Deby (initiator of the theme of the year 2017) on youth, drawing on the main youth recommendations recently formulated by young people at the Pan African Youth Forum. Thus, History will remember that on July 3, 2017, following the tireless advocacy of PUJ President Francine Muyumba and her team and the support of the thousands of young Africans, a new step was taken With a view to the development of youth, following the definitive establishment of the African Youth Development Fund. Its adoption unanimously took place on Monday 3 July 2017 in plenary by all the Heads of State and Government of the African Union after a debate on the report focused on youth presented by President Chadian Idris Déby Itno Who is at the same time President of the African Union. This decision is a great relief for the African youth, according to Francine Muyumba who is awaiting its materialization so that this is beneficial to all African youth. She thanked President Idriss Deby Itno, the African Union Youth 2017 Champion, Professor Alpha Condé and all African Heads of State. Francine Muyumba, on behalf of the African youth, thanked the Commission of the African Union and all the young Africans who participated in this struggle. This is a great victory for African youth because the African Fund for Youth Development that has just been adopted in Addis Ababa represents 1% of the budget of the African Union. That is what will be allocated to this fund, which is almost US $ 7 million.

POLITICAL DECLARATION OF THE CONVENTION OF THE REPUBLICANS

FOLLOWING THE DECLARATION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE CENI MONSIEUR CORNEILLE NANGAA

Meeting in ordinary session this Friday, July 14, 2017, the College of Presidents of the Political Parties took the following position:

In his capacity as President of the CENI, an institution supporting democracy, Mr Corneille NANGAA has no power to postpone elections that are dangerously yielding to the vagaries of power and in violation of the New Year’s Eve Agreement.
Such an oblique statement, moreover, provocative, engages only its author because our people is aware of the disastrous situation that it crosses and will not fail to take charge in due course.
The RC insists on the strict observance of the deadline agreed in the CENCO Agreement and denounces all these biased declarations and invites the CENI to regroup in order to respond to the expectation of the Congolese people who wish to exercise fully and unhindered any of its Constitutional and democratic right to freely choose its representatives for peaceful alternation.

The Labor Party and the new Political and Social Class are ready for the upcoming elections. This is explained by the official launch yesterday, Sunday 16 July 2017 in the commune of Limete in Funa, of the electoral center of the Labor Party. It was Steve Mbikayi himself, in his capacity as initiator of the Labor Party and of the New Political and Social Class, which launched the plant. This gesture proves to the point that the PT is ready to face the next elections that are already in the process of voter enrollment. On this occasion, the moral authority of the party installed the members of the office of the electoral center which will have the heavy mission to implement the strategies of the party in connection with the elections. Steve Mbikayi and the PT are determined to take more than 20 seats at the national level and several other seats at the local and provincial levels. In his word, the Labor Party Initiator said that the party will be represented at all levels. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he welcomed the work being done at the provincial level by the Inter-federal Presidents. According to his remarks, the PT is counted among the 20 best parties of all the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Steve Mbikayi has set up the office of the Labor Party’s electoral center in front of several hundred members. The latter has grandiose ambitions for the upcoming elections. It is a question of electing more than 20 national MPs on its list and several others at the provincial and local level. In front of the press, the Moral Authority of the PT has fixed assignments assigned to this office composed of 22 members. “We came to install the coordinating office of our Labor Party’s electoral center. It is a gesture to prove that we are well prepared to face the electoral battle to come as soon as the CENI will invite us. The mission that is being given to this plant is to start preparations for the elections because we have set ourselves a lot of goals for this. And, we have ambitions large enough in relation to these electoral games. We want to be among the most important parties in the Republic by the number of seats we need at all levels, namely local, provincial, and national, “he said. “We have 15 to 20 MPs at the national level and we want to be represented at all levels. Instead of being distracted, we have preferred to take action to prepare ourselves seriously for this. So we think that with the work being done in different provinces, we can do that. We want this office to help us achieve the goals we have. “

No elections in 2017

Reacting to the controversy over the non-organisation of elections in 2017 as announced by the President of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Corneille Nangaa, PT number one thinks this is not a surprise because all Negotiators either of the city of the African Union or the Cenco knew full well that it was impossible to organize the elections within the time limit fixed by the agreement of the saint-sylvestre. He took this opportunity to call on Congolese politicians to avoid demagoguery and to tell the truth to the people. “In relation to the controversy over what the President of the CENI, Corneille Nangaa, declared, I think he did well to anticipate to avoid tensions such as the one we September of last year. Because when we were at CENCO, all of us, negotiators, were sure that it was not possible to have the elections in 2017. This date was imposed on the CENI when it disagreed . That’s what Mr. Corneille Nangaa said, that’s what all the negotiators already knew, but refused to say. I think that we must stop with demagogy, elections are possible next year, that is to say in 2018. This year is a utopia, “he said.

Speaking with his speech, the Secretary General of the Labor Party, Aaron Mukula, called on all of them to be aware. For him, we must not give in to distraction, we must rather stand ready because sooner or later, there will be elections in this country. In his speech, he elaborated on several points, including the electoral context in the DRC; The motivations for the establishment of the coordination office of the electoral center of the PT … So far, it must be said that the Coordination Office of the Electoral Center of the Labor Party is installed.

After the thanks of the Secretaries General of the Public Administration, President Kabila has just passed a major blow of broom in the enterprises of the portfolio of the State. The idea is to give a new lease of life to these state production units in this difficult period, marked by the great decline in economic activity. For example, at the SCTP, Joseph Kabila, the SOKIMO, MIBA, SNEL, REGIDESO, ANAPI, SONAHYDRO, CVM, OGEFREM and finally the CSP, placed the new leaders there. In the lot of entries, there are figures known to the DRC Congolese political scene including Daniel Mukoko, former right hand man of Matata; André-Alain Atundu, spokesman for the Presidential Majority; Alexandre Luba Ntambo, former Minister of Defense; Me Placide Yoko Yakembe, Several times Ministers, Ambassadors, PCA, Professor of Universities; Honorary Member. The big news fell on Thursday, July 13, the date on which, on the Radio Télévision Nationale Congolaise -RTNC- the series of ordinances were unveiled to the public. It is important to note, however, that there are large departures, notably at the Multimodal Freight Management Office -OGEFREM- where the dynamic Anatole Kikwa and its deputy, India Omari, leave room for the tandem Patient Sayiba Ntambwe (DG) and Olivier Manzila Mutala (DGA).
