This is what we are telling the world to hear us.
The situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo is unacceptable. Women are being raped everyday and we cannot stand it anymore. We have nothing to lose because our Society has been desacrileged in a very humiliating way.
We as people of Congo and I as a leader of The NPPPC "NATIONAL PEOPLE's PATRIOTIC PARTY OF THE CONGO / DRC" Have the divine rights to protect and defend the voiceless, the defenseless and mostly the Women of Democratic Republic of the Congo.
We cannot stand and watch our own people being butchered and molested daily. The time has come and not by bullets, but by the might of vote bulletins. Kabila and his whole government including the Parliament have to go.
We are humiliated people and we have to restore the dignity of our people. All the perpetrators will face Justice and be accountable for the Genocide imposed and perpetrated upon the People of the Democratic republic of the Congo.
Ten million of dead and still counting. Our sisters are being raped continuasly and the world is standing still and watching. When is it going to stop. The mere question to ask to this government and to the parliament: what are they working for? If it's not for the people of Congo.
We shall be in power soon. Congolese be prepared to work hard and to recuperate the lost time of imbecile kings. They came to power not to develop the country, but to steal. Those who came in shorts, now they are billionaires in real dollars term. Let them resign with their billion and let us rule the country with the mandate to restore the dignity of our people and to make D R Congo a player in the International Arena in the concert of Free Nations.
Women of Congo, you have a champion to protect your rights and your lives. I am the one and I will make sure that nobody, I say nobody will touch you again. I am angry and humiliated. Nobody will and if one tries, only the Good Lord knows. Justice for all.
Thanks to the young USA lady Emy for her testimony. This is what we have been saying all along. American spirit in Emy shows the American way of determination and sense of freedom in the world. Her Most Respected Madame the Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said it and this young woman is saying it after evidence and proving it to the world again. When is it going to end.
We do not blame anybody else. Our government in D R Congo is to blame. It has impoverished the Congolese people and removed security from them to divide and conquer. Meantime our women and children are the one to pay the ultimate price. I cannot take this anymore. Positive change is needed right now. If it's not now, then when? Now is the right time. It's time to implement change in the D R Congo. Government and the parliament resign!
May God bless the Women of D R Congo and the NPPPC. We have to shake things round.
