Calling on the world to talk about what continues to happen in the Democratic Republic of the Congo did the Cedric Bakabu through his account in X.

Peace for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The world sees what is happening in eastern Congo, but nothing changes, everyone is silent. With my Foundation I modestly try to be useful locally, but it will never be enough. Pray, share, act for our brothers and sisters.his former striker originally wrote to X Olympiakou.

Peace for the DRC ????
Le monde voit ce qui se passe a l’Est du Congo mais rien ne change, tout le monde se tait.
Avec ma Fondation j’essaie modestement de me rendre utile sur place mais ce ne sera jamais assez.

Priez, partagez, agissez pour nos freres et soeurs ????

The Democratic Republic of the Congo met outbreak of violence in the final months of 2023 as the country awaited national elections in December. Clashes with military and paramilitary groups over land and natural resources, extrajudicial killings by security forces, political violence and rising tensions with neighboring Rwanda (mainly over its alleged support for militia groups in the Congo) have contributed to the deadly conflict. In addition to reports on increasing civilian deaths in eastern Congo, the United Nations said the number of internally displaced people has reached a record high of 6.9 million as fighting makes a growing swath of the country unsafe for civilians.

Everyone sees the massacres in Eastern Congo. But everyone is silent. Put the same energy you put into talking about the Africa Cup of Nations to highlight what is happening at home, there are no small gesturesthe 32-year-old added a little later.
