On the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the independence of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Catholic Bishops of CENCO sent a solemn message to the nation on 19 June 2026. Title « The nation is at risk! Let's draw our fronts, let's take the best of momentum »This text calls for awareness of the security, political and social challenges that threaten national unity.
The CARF, faithful to its mission of awakening citizens and of public debate, organizes a special session of its Observatory of News in the DRC to analyze this prophetic message.
Rendezvous on Friday, June 29, 2026, from 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m., at our Lubumbashi premises (128 Kilela-Balanda Avenue).
Speakers:
· Father Toussaint Kafarhire, S.J. – Director General of CARF
· Father Emmanuel Bueya, S.J.
· Prof. Ziga Bugme
· Ms. Precilia Kiasungua
· Master Hervé Pandi
Together, let us decipher the issues raised by this message, question our collective responsibility and reflect on the ways of an active hope for the DRC.
