PARTI POLITIQUE DE L’INDEPENDANCE SOUS SA REPRESENTATION DE LA GRANDE
BRETAGNE
POURQUOI UNE AUTODETERMINATION
DU KONGO CENTRAL
8 September 2008
Tout a commencé de loin. L’idéologie
vient de loin. L’homme meurt mais l’idéologie reste. Et
personne ne peut changer l’histoire du Kongo Central. Les hommes qui
soutiennent une idéologie quelconque peuvent mourir, maltraités,
persécutés, arrêtés, intimidés, mais lorsque
l’idéologie a été bien enseigné et comprise
et continue d’être enseigné, tÔt ou tard même
si des générations passent, un jour celui qui reconnait chaque
peuple dans sa terre remettra le Kongo Central sous tutelle de son peuple.
L’Alliance des Bakongo en sigle ABAKO, parti politique de l’indépendance
sous sa représentation de la Grande Bretagne rappelle que la voie de
l’indépendance en République Démocratique du Congo
fut ouverte lorsque le mouvement de contestation de masse a manifesté
le 4 janvier 1959 lors d’une interdiction d’un meeting de l’alliance
des Bakongo. Ce parti de l’indépendance fondé par l’inoubliable
grand père et père EDMOND NZEZA NLANDU, dirigé par son
premier président du parti et premier président de la République
Démocratique du Congo, Monsieur Joseph Kasa Vubu.
Cette interdiction a déclenchée une émeute
à Léopoldville aujourd’hui Kinshasa. Cette émeute
sévèrement réprimée causa des morts.
La Belgique et son Roi s’engagèrent à
conduire les Congolais à l’indépendance et annonce pour
les élections locales au suffrage universel et des conseils communaux
dans tous les centres urbains.
Le 23 juin 1959, le président de l’ABAKO, Monsieur
Joseph Kasa Vubu demande la création dans l’Ouest du pays de
la République du Kongo Central aujourd’hui la Province du Bas
Congo. KONGO est un pays pour les KONGOLAIS, ressortissant du KONGO CENTRAL
càd BAS CONGO. KONGO CENTRAL est plus grand que le Portugal, la Suisse
et d’autres pays du monde. Cette province peut se suffire en lui-même
avec une bonne gestion.
En décembre 1959, la loi martiale est
instituée dans le Sud Kasaï afin de mettre fin aux affrontements
entre Lulua et immigrés Luba. Une coalition comprenant l’Alliance
des Bakongo «ABAKO». Le Parti solidaire Africain «PSA»
de Monsieur ANTOINE GIZENGA, le premier ministre actuel du gouvernement de
la République Démocratique du Congo et le MNC de Monsieur Albert
KALONJI et Joseph ILEO demande la convocation à Bruxelles d’une
table ronde.
En Juin 1960, Monsieur JOSEPH KASA VUBU devient le premier
président de la République Démocratique du Congo mais
toujours avec son idée du Kongo Central en tête. Le 30 juin 1960,
jour de l’indépendance de la RDC est marqué par le départ
des cadres belges et le début de la guerre civile. Le Congo belge est
rebaptisé Congo leopoldville aujourd’hui KINSHASA.
D’oÙ vient cette idée d’autodétermination
pour le peuple Kongo ? Les accords et engagements qui aboutirent à
la création de la RDC le 30 juin 1960 pour une durée de 10 ans
sans désordres quelconques. Tout désordre signifiait automatiquement
à la fin de la RDC le 30 juin 1970. Ces accords ne sont pas respectés
en RDC jusqu’ici raison pour laquelle les leaders de l’ABAKO et
certaines Organisations BAKONGO revendiquent l’indépendance et
l’autonomie de la province du BAS Congo sous forme Fédéral.
Un Etat du Kongo Central, pourquoi faire ? Cette appelation
authentique de la province du Bas Congo telle que consacrée par la
Constitution de Luluabourg du 1er aoÛt 1964. Cette même constitution
a consacré le fédéralisme comme forme de l’Etat
et mode de gestion politique de la RDC. Dans cette constitution, la province
jouit d’une autonomie politique. Cette constitution a été
violé par le régime dictatorial de MOBUTU et suivi par d’autres
régimes qui dirigent aujourd’hui la RDC.
Pour un pays vaste comme la RDC, de surcroît,
pluriethnique, la démocratie et le Fédéralisme sont les
deux remèdes qui peuvent guérir de la longue crise de légitimité
du pouvoir d’Etat. La RDC de Kabila actuel président et son pouvoir
refusent ce système de Fédéralisme.
Depuis l’installation du nouveau gouvernement en RDC
avec des élections qui n’aboutirent à rien et aucun changement
apparaît dans notre beau pays, nous vivons et continuons toujours à
vivre la plus haute taille de dictature sanguinaire, de l’intolérance
politique, des traitements du genre répression policière, meurtrière,
arrestations des personnes pour leurs opinions idéologiques, politiques,
religieuses, des journalistes et des activistes des droits de l’homme
sont aussi persécutés.
Nous vivons un Etat égoïste en
RDC. Il faut accepter de compromis et adhérer à ce clic pour
s’enrichir et abandonner la vie de la population. Ce système
unitaire amène les dirigeants à agir dans le sens «Chacun
pour soi et Dieu pour tous». Fais l’effort d’entrer dans
la boîte pour aider ta famille, tes amis et tes connaissances sinon
c’est la pire pauvreté.
Notre peuple vit dans la pauvreté, la famine, le retard
de payement pour les fonctionnaires de l’Etat, la maladie, la prostitution,
le chÔmage, le taux de mortalité infantile élevé,
le niveau d’éducation en décroissance du jour au jour.
Tout est mauvais. Le gouvernement de la RDC n’arrive pas à supporter
son peuple mais il est premier à négocier avec certains pays
occidentaux de faire retourner au pays les exilés pour aller travailler
or tous les universitaires qui finissent leur cours en RDC n’arrivent
pas à travailler parce que le pays n’arrive pas à créer
le marché d’emploi pour ces universitaires.
Pourquoi si les Bakongo parlent de l’indépendance
du Kongo Central et de l’autonomie du Bas-Congo, il y a des arrestations
arbitraires, intimidations, tueries, massacres de leaders Bakongo et de son
peuple? Tout le monde connaît les actes de provocation et de répression
envers la Communauté KONGO en RDC que cela soit du niveau national
et international , les arrestations de dirigeants de l’ABAKO et de ses
membres ainsi que les massacres des membres de BUNDU DIA KONGO et de leur
leader en RDC parce qu’ils ont parlé de vive voix de leurs aspirations
politiques sans utuliser des armes de guerre. Personne ne veut écouter
parler de l’indépendance du Kongo Central, de l’autonomie
du Kongo Central, du Royaume KONGO et du système Fédéral
en RDC.
Aujourd’hui dans l’Est de la RDC, un homme NKUNDA
BATWARE avec une origine douteuse de la RDC fait la guerre et proclame la
terre de KIVU comme une république mais jusqu’ici personne ne
s’occupe de lui, des avertissements de la part du gouvernement qui n’aboutissent
à rien donc nous pouvons dire qu’il y a une complicité
cachée entre les deux parties. Cet homme qui fait la guerre au KIVU
travaille pour qui alors ? Nous connaissons de qui il travaille mais l’avenir
nous dira.
Si un Katangais hausse la voix pour déclarer la République
du Katanga, aucune réaction de la part du pouvoir en place en RDC.
Voyez pourquoi les Bakongo parlent de l’injustice, de l’ostracisme
vis-à-vis de son peuple par ce gouvernement actuel de la RDC.
Le parti politique ABAKO sous sa représentation de
la Grande Bretagne invite les Kongolaises et Kongolais ainsi que tout le peuple
Congolais de la République Démocratique du Congo à ne
pas céder à cette nouvelle dérive draconienne de l’imposteur
qui trÔne à la tête des institutions Congolaises.
Le projet des Bakongo n’a jamais été
enterré et ne sera jamais fini jusqu’à ce que le Kongo
Central trouvera une solution sur ses aspirations politiques revendiquées
à plusieurs reprises par les leaders Kongo.

The
Programme of Government
The Federal Republic of Central
Kongo subscribes to the core values of Constitutional Democracy
Constitutional Democracy
The Ideological Foundations of State Administration
are those of a Constitutional Democracy both in values, principles and policies:
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
- Life
- Liberty
- Freedom of press
- Freedom of speech
JUSTICE
- Due process
- Protection against unreasonable search and seizure
- Rule of law
- Right to a speedy public trial by a jury
THE COMMON GOOD
- Provide for safety and security
- Promote the general welfare
CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
- Majorities have right to make political decisions
- Respect for differences
- Equal protection of the law
- Social equality
- Right to vote and seek office
- Equal employment opportunity
- Equal housing opportunity
Public Safety and Security
Without Safety and Security, good governance
and the provision of all political goods, is impossible.
Security refers to a nation-state’s monopoly
of violence. If there are insurgencies within the state, violence against
the government in power, or rebellions against authority, the nation-state
is neither safe nor secure for its people. Likewise, if the state is invaded
from outside or has porous borders, the government of the nation-state cannot
provide, as nation-states are mandated to do, a safe and secure environment
for the pursuit of individual or group free endeavours within the nation-state.
Nor are the citizens of a modern nation-state
safe or secure if the government in power cannot guarantee their personal
security. Citizens demand to be free of mugging, car jacking, violent crime,
and homicide. Thus, personal security is the second major component of the
political good of safety and security. Countries with lower crime rates are
supplying greater quantities and qualities of the safety segment of the political
good of safety and security than those states where crime is rampant.
The control of the Level of violent crime in
the streets.
Difficulty on the ease of access to small arms and light weapons and its tight
regulation.
National Defence and Security
To establish a disciplined and well-trained
and organized National Defence Forces.
To establish a well trained motivated Police Force to assure Public Safety
of all citizens.
Providing solutions to prevent armed conflicts.
Providing foreign Refugees and asylum seekers
originating from foreign countries a safe heaven, but only when in the best
interest of the Nation, and only when genuine political refugees.
Rule of Law, Transparency and Corruption
Governments and governance cannot exist or
function without the political good called Rule of Law. Such a designation
refers to Common Law or to a codified, transparent method of adjudicating
personal disputes of all kinds, formal and informal contractual obligations,
and disputes between citizens and the nation-state, without resort to violence.
Thus, nation-states with enforceable codes of law, nation-states that have
adhered to international conventions and legal obligations, and nation-states
with judicial mechanisms free of state control have stronger rule of law regimes
and supply larger amounts of the political good of Rule of Law.
Ratification of all Critical Legal Norms
Judicial Independence and Efficiency of the Courts of Law
Eradication of Corruption
As the term “rule of law” highlights
“the idea of laws enacted - laid down, legislated - by an authoritative
body.” The protection of the citizen’s basic human rights and
upheld the basic principles of democracy.
To promote the ratification of all Critical
Legal Norms.
To promote the ratification of core international
human rights conventions.
To assist in the implement of economic and
political sanctions in those countries where there are known human rights
violations.
To allow the draft of Laws on contracts and
property rights and other important areas for which clear legal norms are
key to the development of the economy.
To assure the Existence of an Independent and
Efficient Judicial System.
To assure the Existence of the Judicial independence,
based on the rule of law.
To assure the independence and Efficiency of
the courts in all matters pertaining to legal justice.
To assure the Efficiency of national institutions
regarding contract enforcement, Doing Business measures the efficiency (in
days) of “contract enforcement following the evolution of a sale of
goods dispute and tracking the time involved from the moment the plaintiff
files the lawsuit until actual payment.”
Corruption
To eradicate corruption in the Government and
Public sector.
Citizens Participation and Human Rights
To promote the political good of political
freedom has an essential tool to good governance. It includes Participation—the
ability to contest elections freely; Respect for Basic Human Rights—all
of the essential liberties and rights; and the Absence of Gender Discrimination.
To prevent discrimination, such as discrimination
against ethnic groups and religious minorities (including ethnic) conflict.
Without these components of political freedom, many other political goods
that collectively compose good governance are difficult to exercise.
The Free and spontaneous Participation of each
Citizens in the public and political life of the Nation.
To allow for Competitive Executive Elections,
based on whether independent observer missions judge national elections to
be “free and fair.”
Participation of main opposition candidates
in Executive Elections.
Competitive Legislative Elections, based on
whether official independent observer missions judge national elections to
be “free and fair.”
Participation of main opposition candidates
in legislative elections.
Respect for Civil and Political Rights of each
State Citizens.
Respect for physical rights (absence of extra
judicial killing, disappearances, torture, and political imprisonment).
Respect for civil rights (freedom of movement,
political participation, worker's rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of
religion).
To assure Press freedom at the most basic level.
To assure Absence of Gender Discrimination.
To advance Women’s Economic Rights.
To promote Women’s Political Rights.
To progress Women’s Social Rights.
Sustainable Economic Opportunity
To create and maintain Sustainable Economic
Opportunities is an essential political good. Well-governed nation-states
enable their citizens to pursue personal entrepreneurial goals and potentially
prosper. They do so by providing regulatory frameworks conducive to such prosperity
and by creating stable and forward-looking macroeconomic and fiscal policy
environments that facilitate and encourage national and personal wealth creation.
Arteries of commerce—a robust physical communications and transportation
infrastructure—are also critical to the achievement of these national
and personal objectives. Significant, too, is the extent to which African
countries are safeguarding their environments. Doing so assists in sustaining
economic opportunity. In order to measure the extent to which nation-states
are providing this essential political good and its components.
To incentive Wealth Creation.
To monitor and maintain in a prosper level
the GDP per capita.
To allow for Local and National Economic growth.
To allow and maintain Macroeconomic Stability
and Financial Integrity.
To implement the necessary financial mechanisms
of good economical governance and responsible control of the annual inflation
rates.
To control and account for Government budget
deficits and surpluses as a percentage of GDP.
To establish the Reliability of financial institutions
and monitor the overall local and national business environment.
Taxes
Lower taxes benefit all citizens, creating
jobs and allowing citizens to make more decisions for themselves about their
lives.
Lower taxes allow more spending, saving, and
investing which helps the economy - that means all citizens.
The economy and independence as a nation is
increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as the Communist and
totalitarian regime of the Peoples Republic of China, this musty be brought
to a full stop.
Corporate ethics
The bottom line for corporations is making
a profit. Self-interest is a reliable motivator, and when it can be channelled
in positive ways, society benefits. This positive channelling will occur only
if corporate behaviour is constrained by ethical principles.
In the economic realm, as in all areas of life,
self-interest must be balanced with responsibility for others. Experience
shows that many businesses will operate in a responsible manner only if they
are subjected to clear regulations and careful scrutiny.
Many business people are very conscientious,
and attempt to function in socially responsible ways. Sometimes they are successful.
However, in the absence of appropriate regulations, businesses that do attempt
to operate in a responsible manner sometimes find they simply cannot compete
with their less scrupulous competitors.
For businesses to be able to function in responsible
ways requires attention to the “rules of the game” within which
competition must take place.
Arteries of Commerce
The density of a nation’s road network
(both paved and unpaved) per square kilometre of national land.
The supply, availability, reliability and access
of electricity to the population.
The development of each African nation infrastructures
of Land Line and Mobile (cellular) telephone network. Promoting and allowing
free access to the Internet and promote the access to Computers.
Environmental Sensitivity
Environmental health, air quality, water resources,
productive natural resources, biodiversity and habitat, and sustainable energy.
Reduction of environmental stresses on human health and promotion of ecosystem
vitality and natural resource management.
Human Development
Governments are charged by their constituents
with supplying the political good of effective human development. Everywhere,
especially in Africa, citizens expect their governments to provide opportunities
for educational advancement, health care and medical and sanitary services,
and poverty mitigation and alleviation.
The Federation of African Free States is determined to assist and help its
affiliated Sovereign Nation States to eradicate National Poverty; the percent
of all nationals live on less than US$1 day (the globally recognized poverty
figure).
To implement the mechanisms that permits and allows a fair an equal national
distribution of income.
Publicly Funded Health Care
Publicly funded health care financed entirely
or in majority part by citizens' tax payments.
Health Outcomes:
To improve the Life expectancy at birth.
To prevent Infant mortality.
To prevent Maternal mortality.
To tackle Undernourishment in Africa to eradicate
the percentage of the population whose food intake is below the minimum dietary
energy requirements.
To increase the percentage of children immunized against measles.
To increase the percentage of children; aged
12-23 months immunized against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), and

ratio in primary schools.

Social Welfare Service concerned with social protection, or protection against
socially recognized conditions, including poverty, old age, disability, unemployment
and others.
1. Social insurance, where people receive benefits
or services in recognition of contributions to an insurance scheme. These
services will include provision for retirement pensions, disability insurance,
survivor benefits and unemployment insurance.
2. Income maintenance; distribution of cash in the event of interruption of
employment, including retirement, disability and unemployment.
3. Basic General Security, African citizens access to basic necessities; such
as food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care.
African Independence and Sovereignty
So called free trade deals and world governmental
organizations are a threat to independence as nations. They transfer power
from our African governments to unelected foreign elites, such as the Communist
Peoples Republic of China.
Withdrawal from all and any organizations and
trade deals that infringe upon the freedom and independence of the African
States.
