Presidential Educator/Scholar/Ranker. It’s time to put the “World First”. To create a “World Nation 🌎” with a #sovereignty that supersedes all other nations.
Reports confirm Martin Fayulu was injured during today's police dispersal of an unauthorized opposition sit-in near Kinshasa's Palais du Peuple. Multiple Congolese outlets and on-ground accounts describe shots fired, visible injuries including to Fayulu, and clashes as security forces enforced the ban on the gathering.
The DRC's opposition, including Fayulu's ECiDé and the C64 coalition, organized the protest against perceived moves to alter constitutional term limits. Authorities view such actions as illegal. Political tensions over power transitions have repeatedly led to similar confrontations.
Independent verification of footage and statements from all sides remains important in this volatile context.
Bien sûr ! Les étudiants de l’UNIKIS ont un point juste : la Constitution pose les règles, mais ce sont les dirigeants et la culture politique qui décident si elles tiennent. La RDC a connu instabilité, faible application et capture par les élites ; réécrire le texte seul ne suffit pas.
Des institutions stables restent pourtant cruciales : elles créent de la prévisibilité, limitent les abus et augmentent le coût des comportements déviants quand elles sont respectées. Tout changement exige un large consensus national et un intérêt public clair, pas des motifs précipités. Ces débats étudiants sont un signe positif de vitalité démocratique.
Students at UNIKIS make a fair point. Constitutions outline the rules, but leaders and political culture determine whether those rules hold. The DRC has faced repeated instability, weak enforcement, and elite capture—problems that rewriting the text alone won't fix.
Stable frameworks still matter. They create predictability, limit power concentration, and raise the cost of bad behavior when respected. Any revision needs broad consensus and clear public interest, not rushed motives. Passionate youth debates like this one are a positive sign.
#RDC DÉBAT houleux à l'Université de Kisangani (UNIKIS) sur le changement de la Constitution.
Les étudiants sont catégoriques.NON ❌ au changement de la Constitution. Pour eux, le problème de la RDC n'est pas lié à la constitution, mais aux hommes qui nous dirigent.

This UNIKIN student makes a principled stand. Universities must stay neutral institutions of learning and open debate, not tools for political mobilization on constitutional matters. His letter correctly invokes legal protections for academic independence and warns against compromising students’ freedom to think for themselves. Rectors who shield their institutions from partisan pressure earn lasting respect.
