Michel Bongongo: "The desire to have a lot of money at the expense of the common good," a persistent evil since Mobutu

In an interview, Professor Michel Bongongo condemned the persistence of the desire to accumulate wealth at the expense of the common good in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a problem he attributes to the Mobutu era. He highlighted the impoverishment of the population despite the country's wealth and called for elders to return as role models for the youth. Bongongo also identified security and the state of infrastructure as the main current challenges facing the DRC.
