DRC: Joseph Kabila laments the disregard of his citizen's pact to 'save Congo from the abyss' as the country's situation worsens

Joseph Kabila, former president of the DRC, expressed his discontent on October 9, 2026, criticizing the lack of implementation of his 12-point citizen's pact aimed at saving the country. He laments that his proposals, made after his May 2025 address to the nation, have been ignored, leading to ongoing deterioration in political and security stability, with increased conflicts and irresponsible governance. He emphasizes the urgent need to end tyranny, restore state authority, rebuild democracy, and promote development through good governance and sincere dialogue.
