The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in the DRC, Leïla Zerrougui, calls for support to the Congolese Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi, as well as his entire team. She finds that there is good will in Fatshi and those who walk with him. Leïla Zerrougui believes that the good intentions of the new power should enjoy the support of all.

She said it yesterday Monday, April 22 during a video conference in which took part the Congolese press in Kinshasa as well as that of Goma and Bukavu. "I think there is goodwill of the President and his team. They want to do something positive. We must help them. It is not enough to have good intentions, it is necessary to have the means, the will and the popular support to legitimize the action and to go ahead. And I think that we must all be part of this process", Leïla Zerrougui said.

According to the representative of the UN Secretary-General, the Congolese rd population expects many of its leaders not to be disappointed. "We have no right to betray those who are waiting today and hoping. Those who are suffering and who cannot feed their children, those who have been driven out of their cities, those who have lost theirs, we must give them hope that in the DRC, there are also the place for them and we can move forward and we can build a more beautiful Congo than before. That's what you say in your national anthem, "Zerrougui said.

Regarding the fate of Radio Okapi, some of whose antennas are closed, the boss of Monusco said that this instrument is very important for Congolese and that it is a link between the UN and the Congolese people. Therefore, "we will do everything we can to keep this link," she underlined.
