Thank You!

Thank you!

We are by this message expressing our sincere thanks to our valued compatriots, the United Nations Intervention Brigade in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN) at large and other members of the broader International Community for contributing on the promotion of the “Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for DRC and the region” - http://www.peaceau.org/uploads/scanned-on-24022013-125543.pdf that is evidently paving a way towards a peaceful, stable and prosperous Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where to live in harmony, where to visit, where to invest and to prosper.

We have always believed and continue to believe that without Peace and stability, we cannot hope for a legitimate, competent and responsible governments aiming to promote:

a.      The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Democracy in particular;

b.     Fair and free elections;

c.      Strong institutions, among others, the Independent Electoral Commission, the judiciary institutions, strong/disciplined army, police, security forces...

d.     Prosperity based on the Universal Businesses’ Standards;

e.      A formally effective membership to the Sub regions, region which our country belongs to and to our Interdependent World, at large.

I, on behalf of the Revolution Congolaise.rc make an appeal to my compatriots:

1.     to strengthen our needed unity and to make an effort to transcend our persistent tribal, linguistic and regional rivalry and work towards one and united Democratic Republic of Congo in order to build a new society and together, find an effectively viable and durable solution to the major problems of governance, social justice and cohesion confronting our country and its people.

2.     to understand the need for us to sincerely work in partnership with the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN) at large and other members of the broader International Community as they remain committed to positively changing the face of our country, from a human slaughtering and other human rights’ abuses field to a better place where to live in harmony, a place to visit, a place to invest and prosper.

Pacifique Sukisa-Makasi.

We hope for a viable and durable solution to the persistent social, economic and political deadlock in our country.

To our valued Elders,
http://www.theelders.org/?gclid=COTigJrq8JACFQ_nlAodewnbqQ,

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.

May God continues to watching over you and May He give you more wisdom as you remain committed to building a better world.

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.

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

4.      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:

·       Basé à Bukavu : Les rebelles de l'UFRC veulent renverser « Joseph ...
