The Rassemblement des enfants de Dieu pour la transformation du Congo et Alliés (Redtco-A), a national coalition of civil society organizations, has joined the Union Sacrée de la nation (USN) in support of President Félix Tshisekedi's vision for the Democratic Republic of Congo. The coalition's decision was announced during a ceremony held on September 5 in Kinshasa's Kasa-Vubu commune. According to Bishop Léonard Lamba Lamba, president-founder of Redtco-A, the coalition's support for the USN is a demonstration of its commitment to the country's prosperity.
The ceremony, which brought together a large crowd from across Kinshasa and the 26 provinces, marked the official launch of various associations, foundations, and organizations that have joined Redtco-A. Bishop Lamba Lamba emphasized that the coalition's support for the USN is not limited to politics, but rather a patriotic commitment to the country's well-being. He highlighted the importance of civil society participation in the country's transformation, citing the need for a new Congo built on peace, cohesion, and development.
The Bishop also stressed that the coalition's support for the USN is not a partisan issue, but rather a national cause that requires the involvement of all Congolese citizens. He noted that the country's current challenges, including security, economic, and social issues, require a united and determined effort from all citizens. The ceremony was attended by several prominent figures, including Professor André Mbata, secretary permanent of the USN.
The coordinator of Redtco-A, Pastor Jacques Kambala Tshilombo, also addressed the ceremony, focusing on the theme "Quel homme pour un nouveau Congo?" (What kind of man for a new Congo?). He emphasized the importance of national identity, the fight against tribalism, and the need for unity and patriotism. Pastor Kambala also highlighted the need to recognize the role of traditional leaders and to place God at the center of all actions.
Pastor Kambala further emphasized that the new Congo should be a nation where all citizens are united, regardless of their diversity. He also called for an end to tribalism, which he described as a crime against the nation. The ceremony was marked by the presence of several orchestras, choirs, and religious movements, and guests were invited to sign the guestbook of the coalition.
The event was a significant show of support for President Tshisekedi's vision for the country, and marked a new chapter in the coalition's commitment to the country's transformation. According to Redtco-A, its support for the USN is a demonstration of its commitment to the country's prosperity and its desire to contribute to the country's development.
The joining of Redtco-A to the USN is seen as a boost to President Tshisekedi's efforts to unite the country and drive its development. The coalition's support is expected to bring a new level of engagement and participation from civil society organizations in the country's development process.
