        When people urge you to take part in a violent struggle involving the use of weapons or exchange of physical blows they are setting traps for your lives Mobilize your movement base and Vote Kabila's cronies out. Zambia does it every time.

        Yes but this is Congo we’re talking about. A country with the deadliest conflict since WWII and a government that has no qualms about killing its population to maintain control nor breaking its constitutional laws. Voting is not the answer here.

        It is Congo indeed! However, a paradigm shift knows no boundary, creed or race. Lack of stability in Congo is untenable, and as such, a different approach to political power is an indispensable objective. That is, even if common perception about Congo is as a glass half empty.

        In Africa, sitting on a round, square or rectangular table isn't the way 2 get things done 4 e majority of it's citizens. Protests, uprisings and all relative unconventional means r e way. Speak as one, and by the time we do that, we'll realize we hold the power not politicians!
