The Uncompromising Résistants

A poem by Frederick Yamusangie

The Land has been occupied

The

Mighty

The teachers can no longer teach

The civil servants have bean reduced to the level of beggars

The national army and police have become the enemies of the people

Real misery has spilled out in the entire country

Incompetence is flirting with the elites

And in all four corners of the Land

Children have lost their innocence,

Criminals are being rewarded with state honors,

While men and women of conscience are being

Prevented from giving an helping hand

In this state of affairs, something has to be done

Yes! Something is being done

Something has been made operational

Eight thousand miles away from home,

In

London

Some young men and women have raised the Flag of Hope

They are determined and they mean business…

They are the Uncompromising Résistants

What did you say?

Les Résistants!!!

I am sure this the last word

The Enemy of

Congo

The Master Plunder of our Wealth

The Butcher of Congolese

Would like to hear

The arrival of these young men and women

Has changed the entire Equation

And these Résistants are here to stay

Although Anarchy is still persisting in

Eastern Congo

The Résistants have brought Hope into our oppressed people

It is now too late for the Enemy of our people

To try to break up those Résistants ….

They are the Unbreakable Freedom Fighters

They are the many faces of just one thing:

The Total Liberation of our beloved

Congo

One might choose call them Résistants,

Combatants, etc….

But I know and will always called them

The Liberators of the Great

Congo

The Architects of Congolese Renaissance,

The Promoters of Congolese Dignity.

Here in

London

This is not something new

Our Résistants are just in the footsteps of Great Men

As Joseph Conrad,

Edmond

And all the members of Congo Reform Association;

And even the members of the Forces de la France Libre.

Yes!

London

Those with the blood of Congolese in their hands

In this case, what else can I say?

For those Butchers of Congolese who are still skeptical,

I am sending you a special invitation

Our Peaceful and Uncompromising Résistants are ready

To welcome you in their

Oh! My

Congo
