Various political, social, and military forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have come together under the banner of “Alliance Fleuve Congo” (AFC), aiming to restore stability, unity, and the dignity of the nation.
Citing the urgent need to address decades-long insecurity and internal displacement, the coalition emphasized the Congolese people’s responsibility in saving the state. The statement pointed to governance deficits, corruption, and the regime’s alleged unethical practices as major contributors to the nation’s challenges.
The coalition accused the current leadership, under Mr. TSHISEKEDI, of tribalism, embezzlement, discrimination, and outsourcing national security, leading to the prevalence of foreign mercenaries in the Eastern part of the country. The declaration highlighted the regime’s violation of the constitution, laws, and international treaties, describing recent electoral processes as compromised.
Under the principles outlined in Article 64 of the DRC’s constitution, the coalition’s call for unity is directed at political parties, civil society platforms, resistance forces, the armed forces, and community leaders. The newly formed AFC aims to establish a structured force for state rebuilding and address the root causes of conflicts, striving for lasting peace.
Patriots and advocates for change are invited to join the Alliance urgently, with a shared vision to save the country and rebuild a sovereign state that upholds the rule of law and ensures the safety of all citizens. The formation of AFC marks a significant step toward a united and peaceful future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
