In a message shared on his account X (like Twitter), the Congolese striker spoke out against the world's indifference to what is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where M23 rebels backed by Rwandan soldiers are terrorizing the population.
The situation worsened last week when these rebels expanded their zone of influence, suffocating the city of Goma, the capital of North Kivu. "Peace for the DRC. The world sees what is happening in the east of Congo but nothing changes, everyone remains silent. With my Foundation, I modestly try to be useful on the ground, but it will never be enough," wrote Cédric Bakambu. He added below this message:
This former Villarreal striker, who has just signed with Real Betis, used to celebrate his goals with a gesture of a gun to the temple and a hand covering the mouth, a symbol of the world's silence regarding the killings in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
