Fayulu Denounces Regime’s Primary Tribalism as Basis for Country’s Division
Martin Fayulu, the leader of the LAMUKA coalition, delivered a powerful message to the Congolese people on December 30th, painting a grim picture of the country’s governance across various sectors. In his address, Fayulu condemned the regime’s primary tribalism, which he believes is fueling the division within the nation.
Fayulu highlighted the growing identity politics at the highest levels of the state, with constant friction between so-called “blood brothers” and other “compatriots.” He expressed concern over the preferential treatment of a single tribe in state appointments, leading to increased migration flows to Kinshasa and Lubumbashi in an effort to bolster tribal influence and disrupt opposition and resistance movements.
Moreover, Fayulu rejected any attempts to manipulate the Congolese people for “Machiavellian and political” purposes. He reiterated his stance against changing the constitution, a move currently championed by Félix Tshisekedi, the UDPS party, and other political entities within the national unity coalition. Fayulu vehemently opposes what he deems as a “presidential lifetime tenure in the DRC.”
As the political landscape in the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to shift, Fayulu’s unwavering commitment to upholding democratic principles and resisting divisive tribal politics stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking a more inclusive and unified future for the nation.
