The last CAN in Ivory Coast allowed the DRC to give a little more media coverage to the political context in the east of the country. For more than 20 years, several massacres have taken place in this region and just before the semi-final against Ivory Coast, shocking videos had circulated showing the treatment suffered by the population at the hands of Rwandan militias. The players therefore decided to support the people before the meeting and several players including Bakambu spoke.
This Friday, PSG player Presnel Kimpembe, also of Congolese origin, also wanted to break his silence. “The situation is inhumane. Silence is unacceptable. A genocide is currently taking place in eastern Congo, lives are being taken every day. Women, men and children live in unimaginable conditions and suffer atrocities to the point of losing their lives. I do not speak only as a Congolese through my father, but out of humanity. It is our mothers and our children who die every day in this massacre, it is essential to talk about it so that things change. I also take this opportunity to send a sincere thought to all the people who are suffering genocides throughout the world, there are no lives more important than others. » The message got through.
