PRESS RELEASE / ON BEHALF OF THE CONGOLESE COMMUNITY IN THE UK
Over the years, we have seen leaders of countries misuse and abuse their power – suppressing democracy; holding their people back politically and economically; and, preventing the country and its people from reaching their fullest potential. We must stand united and demand that democracy returns to all parts of the world.
Observers from the Carter Center, founded by former US President Jimmy Carter, found “the provisional presidential election results announced by the Independent National Election Commission (CENI) on the 9th of December 2022 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to lack credibility.” Based on the report of its 30,000 election observers, the largest of any group, Kinshasa Archbishop, Cardinal Monsengwo Pasinya, said that “…there is no reason to firmly conclude that these results conform to either the truth or justice.”
Recognising rigged elections means supporting dictatorial regimes, injustice, conflicts and human insecurity in Africa. We will continue to Stand by the Congolese people in demanding the respect of The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) recognises the right of all peoples to self-determination, including the right to "freely determine their political status", pursue their economic, social and cultural goals, and manage and dispose of their own resources.
