Happy New Year 2022!
What could be more natural to present to you the wishes of happiness and prosperity for this new stage that we are undertaking today after a trying period which will have been marked by the epidemic of Coronavirus throughout the world and the insecurity in the eastern part of the DRC.
This week, the newspapers widely opened their pages to the tour in the center of the country of President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo. "
Fatshi on the assault on Grand Kasai
", headlines the bi-weekly
Le Maximum
to talk about the presidential tour that began on Friday, December 24 in the five provinces from the Kasai area: Kasai oriental, Kasai, Kasai central, Lomami and Sankuru.
“
All having,
” the newspaper emphasizes
, “the peculiarity of not having been spoiled in recent years.
They are crumbling under many socio-economic problems and suffer from basic infrastructure deficiencies that are sometimes unspeakable
”.
"
A situation that,
we can read in
Le Maximum
,
the Kamwina Nsapu insurgency that took place in 2016, has particularly worsened in some of these provinces"
.
Fatshi discovering the realities of deep Kasai
The newspaper
Le Phare
writes instead: “
Félix Tshisekedi discovering the realities of deep Kasai
”. And this daily explains: "
If he was compartmentalized in his office in Kinshasa to be satisfied with the various reports that are made to him, the President of the Republic would never have known that most of these reports were truncated and that the reality was quite different
”. The truths discovered in the realization of two projects initiated in the Grand Kasai area ... in this case the 100 days project and the Tshilejelu project ... or nothing has been done, notes
Le Phare
for whom "
The Head of State discovered the bitter realities which anger and revolt good conscience
”.
"
Project Tshilejelu: the cash cow of neo-hijackers
", denounces
Le Potentiel
, a newspaper which also reveals that: "
Tshisekedi promises legal proceedings to embezzlers
".
The project did not produce the expected results, says the daily.
“
By taking the risk of traveling the section from Mbuji-Mayi to Kabinda, in Lomami province,”
continues
Le Potentiel
, “
Fatshi experienced the ordeal of the road.
Almost 11 hours for a trip which should have lasted 3 hours if the roads had been rehabilitated
, cut the colleagues of this newspaper ”.
Monsignor Tharcisse Tshibangu Tshishiku is gone
Finally, the
newspaper
La Prosperity
points to the disappearance on Thursday in Kinshasa of Monsignor Tharcisse Tshibangu Tshishiku, magnificent former rector of Lovanium University which later became the University of Zaire before ending up Archbishop of Mbuji Mayi.
Honest man and man of faith in the future.
This is the testimony of Professor Yoka Lye Mudaba who, in this daily, speaks of a committed academic, and of a prince of the Catholic Church anguished by the meteoric march of the present times.
A leading intellectual who devoted his fundamental reflections to African theology as the foundation of contemporary Christian faith, argues Yoka Lye in
La Prosperity.
