We hope for a viable and durable solution to the persistent social, economic and political deadlock in our country.
Whether it is a coincidence or not, we deeply thank our valued Elders for their vital, humanitarian response to our: http://www.theelders.org/feeditem/rc-revolcongo-1
When I (Pacifique Sukisa-Makasi) met Elder Mary Robinson I kind of joked, telling her that I wished she could be among the wise people to lead the national and International’s efforts to finding a viable solution to our country’s social, political and economical deadlock.
However, I was very serious when I told her that. Elder Mary Robinson’s appointment by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as the new Special Envoy for the Great Lakes region of Africa is nothing else to me but my answered prayer and that has strengthened my faith in God and hopes for a near future peaceful, stable and prosperous DR Congo for all who live in it, all who visit it and who invest or shall invest in it.
I will never stop thanking the Nelson Mandela Foundation which invited me to the 10th Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture which was delivered by Elder Mary Robinson and through which I met Elder Mary Robinson.

The Democratic Republic Of Congo Presidential
On 31 January 2012 AISA and the City of Tshwane co-hosted
the Ambassadorial Forum on the DRC’s Presidential Elections and its Aftermath
at the National Library of South Africa (NLSA) in Pretoria. The forum was
chaired by Dr Matlou, CEO of AISA. The introductory remarks were provided by Mr
John Kgwale Tsebe, CEO of the NLSA. Mr Tsebe gave a synopsis of the NLSA’s
mission statement being to promote a South African culture of reading, writing and
publishing in all local languages, and to provide easy access to books to all
South Africans.
The keynote address was given by the Deputy Ambassador of
the DRC to South Africa, Mr Yav Tshikomb whose presentation was on The 27
November 2011 Presidential Election, in which he informed the audience about
the procedures and results of the elections that took place under the
supervision of international observers. He encouraged the opposition parties to
work together with the government to build the country. Dr Sylvester Maphosa,
Chief Research Specialist and Head of Peace and Security at AISA, spoke on DRC
Presidential Election: An Imperfect but necessary step? The missing link in
democratic transitions. His presentation reflected on the election results and
questioned the role of the neighboring countries in bringing about peace and
security in the DRC.
Mr Dieudonne N Tshiyoyo, Manager of Elections and Political
Processes at the Electoral Institute for Sustainability on Democracy in Africa
spoke on Assessing the Congolese Electoral Law and the CENI Preparedness to
organise the November 2011 Presidential Election. In his presentation, he
reflected on the electoral flaws in the DRC elections, the failure of the
Electoral Commission to print the ballot papers in time and to allow the
opposition time to campaign. Mr Pacifique Sukisa-Makasi of the Revolution
Congolaise spoke on Post-Election Violence and Human Rights in the Congo. In
his presentation, he highlighted a number of incidences in which the followers
of opposition parties were harassed and denied their rights to express their
dissatisfaction towards the government on how the election was conducted. Dr
Siphamandla Zondi, Executive Director of the Institute for Global Dialogue
(IGD) and AISA Council member summarised the discussions by critically
outlining the outcome of the elections.

Revolution Congolaise, rc - Clarification
To all our valued supporters,
fans and our posts’ readers,
Good morning!
We have been contacted by
many of those who follow us and who were worried that we might have been among those
compatriots - 19 alleged Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC) rebels who were arrested the province of Limpopo, South Africa. So we decided to clear the following to you:
1. We (the Revolution Congolaise, rc loyal team members) are not part of or linked in any
way to our DR Congolese nationals who were arrested in South Africa for planning
a coup plot against the DRC government: South Africa Arrests Rebels Alleged Plotting Coup In Congo
2.
The Revolution
Congolaise, rc is a non violent revolutionary movement mainly seeking political
solutions and other possible non violent
solutions to our country’s social, political and economical deadlock, not
military solutions or any other mean that might result in human rights abuses,
unless in case of self defense: http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/comment/84224
We are a nonviolent revolution based on the following wikipedia definition:A nonviolent revolution is a revolution using mostly campaigns of civil resistance, including various forms of nonviolent protest, to bring about the departure of governments seen as entrenched and authoritarian. While many campaigns of civil resistance are aimed at much more limited goals than revolution, generally a nonviolent revolution is characterized by simultaneous advocacy of democracy, human rights and national independence in the country concerned. In some cases a campaign of civil resistance with a revolutionary purpose may be able to bring about the defeat of a dictatorial regime only if it obtains a degree of support from the armed forces, or at least their benevolent neutrality.

Please remember to looking at the following again: http://revolutioncongolaise-rc.blogspot.com/2012/10/dear-valued-readers-please-be-aware.html

We are not presently in any way linked to the the groups bellow, whoever member of the RC who is linked on these groups is linked to them on personal capacity and not on behalf of the RC:
