February 25th 2018, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, another protest against the current president and his regime was organized. The peaceful protest was called by the lay coordination committee (CLC) and the Congolese population once again expressed their dissatisfaction in the current government by massively responding to the CLC call. Walking with bibles, rosaries, crucifix, and water, but also their christian songs and prayers as well as margarine as protection against tear gas.
The corrupted police, military force and militia all working for Mr. "Kabila" account, were also present not to protect, but to stop the protest by any mean possible even if it meant killing an unarmed peaceful walker.
As of today, two more emblems of the fight to free DRC lost their lives and have been identified. The number is still going up, however.


Professor Thierry Nlandu, an active member of the CLC in Kinshasa speaks up:
"We are not in a democratic regime, we are living a dictatorship. The World has to realize it; everyone must realize that we are standing before a regime with absolutely no respect for human lives.
We can change our strategy and incorporate other demonstration/protest style, unfortunately nothing will exclude life loss. Thus, what is needed is that together, not only the DRC, but also Africa and even the western nations; all of us together need to realize that we are facing a regime that we have to get rid of; a regime with which we should stop conducting business and/or act as if things could just go all the way to the elections toward the end of December 2018. I don't know how many more lives we have to lose for the international community to realize that what we are living is a tragedy... If we were to tell the World that there was a hundred Bonobos killed in the Congolese forests, i am convinced that the entire humanity would rise in outrage as it would be touching a piece of universal heritage; but when they kill over six million Congolese, we clearly see that our lives do not represent a thing in that heritage. Because when we talk about the D.R. Congo, we only touch upon its tremendous wealth, its rich soil oozing of natural resources, we never talk about the inhabitant of this outrageously rich land, that die everyday of malaria, hunger, gunshot, and misery/poverty and that is what's becoming more and more revolting".
