A recent article by Réveil FM, a Democratic Republic of the Congo-based media outlet, features criticism from politician Freddy Mulongo Mukena, a journalist and international advocate for the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, also known as Mama Kongo. Mukena expressed concerns over the actions of certain individuals and groups within the country's politics. He specifically mentioned MABUNDI 1er, AUGUSTIN KABUYA, and MUSELU, who he associates with the Force du Progrès, a militia allegedly linked to the UDPS party. Mukena's comments reflect his perspective on the current state of politics in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Mukena's criticism targets what he describes as impunity enjoyed by certain individuals, whom he refers to as "criminels KATA KATA" and "TONTONS MACOUTES." He draws a comparison between these groups and the Taliban, suggesting a similar level of fear and violence. Mukena also references the period under former President Joseph Kabila, during which the "bérets rouges" were feared, but have since disappeared. His comments imply that the current political climate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is marked by violence and a lack of accountability.
The politician also criticized President Félix Tshisekedi, who he refers to as "MAKIERO 1er" and "Félix TSHILOMBO KANIKI TSHINTUNTU L’AFFABULOCRATRE MUANA MBOKA YA MOYIBI." Mukena implies that Tshisekedi's presidency was illegitimate, as he claims it was acquired through a deal that undermined the democratic process. Mukena also expresses skepticism about Tshisekedi's potential to benefit from certain laws, including the "loi MOMO" proposed by Modeste Mutinga Mutuishayi, which pertains to former heads of state.
Mukena further asserts that Tshisekedi will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the "loi MOMO" and that the law on impunity will be repealed. He also warns that any country supporting Tshisekedi will face diplomatic consequences, including the expulsion of its enterprises. Mukena's comments reflect his critical stance towards the current government and his vision for the country's future.
Mukena specifically addresses Augustin KABUYA and MUSELU, who he associates with the Force du Progrès and the UDPS party. He warns them that their actions will have consequences and that the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will not be silenced. Mukena's message suggests that he advocates for accountability and justice in the country's politics.
The article also touches on the issue of violence and massacres committed by certain groups, which Mukena attributes to the UDPS party. He emphasizes that the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, whom he refers to as "BANA MAMA KONGO," will not be treated as mere sheep and that the authorities must be held accountable for their actions.
Mukena concludes by reaffirming his commitment to freedom of expression and his role as a journalist and advocate for the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. His comments reflect his perspective on the current state of politics in the country and his vision for a more just and accountable system.
