Claude Ibalanky RDC election critique

RDC CLAUDE IBALANKY dropped a reality check that cuts deep: WELCOME TO THE GATHERING OF THE DEAF, TO THE DIALOGUE OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED. It is not some newfangled idea to ask citizens what they think; it is the bare minimum for respect. Skip that step and you are just pulling off political fraud or stealing voices again. The nation is still paying the price for how the 2023 elections played out, where the people's input was allegedly snatched away, crushed underfoot, and twisted into something unrecognizable. Trying to have a real conversation becomes impossible when you declare certain topics off-limits. We need to dig back into why those voting processes stretched across multiple days, the massive irregularities that were flagged, machines ending up in private hands, and the shady circumstances used to crown officials. Citizens deserve full clarity on the past and the power to demand it never repeats itself. You cannot forge a national agreement while hiding forbidden truths. That forces us to question if institutions born from such a broken process even hold any legitimacy. If the foundation is rotten, keeping them around is not a given. Dissolving these bodies needs to be on the table. Why trust this new consultation when the current regime has never put the people first? Only those desperate to keep an illusion alive would say this reflects the popular will. Misappropriation, nepotism, tribalism, bad governance, and exclusion based on identity are the real problems being ignored. Who gets to pick the speakers? Who sets the agenda? How do we ensure voices stay safe from confiscation this time? No dialogue with variable geometry. No forbidden subjects. Only struggle liberates! The Awakening is now. #DemocraticRepublicOfTheCongo
