Congolese Women and Their Place in the Anti-Colonial Revolution and the Fight Against Aggression

Under the Rwandan occupation of North and South Kivu, they were victims of violence, torture, humiliation, and inhuman and degrading treatment. Amidst the chaos and insecurity, our leaders are mobilizing this March to show their support for women under occupation.

Teaching the anti-fascist, anti-imperialist and anti-colonial revolution, with the participation of women, is our credo for the month of March 2025.

Indeed, the popular revolution begins with awareness-raising, mobilization, and action against the invading Rwandan enemy. Congolese women must be taught the opposite of the ideology of the M23 and its ilk. We must rely on Congolese farmers and women for the total liberation of the Congo. The aggressor must find a response to its suffocation among the population, the majority of whom are Congolese women. We must teach the meaning of the philosophy of decolonization of the mind in order to obtain new men capable of saving the DRC. The capitulation of the DRC is not possible before a people standing up against the occupation.

No revolution can succeed without the involvement of women. Women give birth to children; they do not have the right to stand idly by while the children go to the front lines against the aggressors. They suffer to give birth and must fight with their children for the liberation of the country. Women tend to think better. Their advice can guide the country toward victory and the development of the population. If men act alone, they will commit too many stupid things: betrayal, theft, embezzlement, fear, corruption, etc. We may even waste our time and our country. Committed women can never abandon the cities and villages in the hands of the Rwandans in Goma, Bukavu, Bunagana, and elsewhere. They have a duty to take an interest in the country’s politics and the defense of the homeland.

Women are numerous in the armies of communist nations because they are a major asset and the backbone of a nation. Women are numerous at the borders, which is why order is essential to enter a communist country. Women are a guarantee of order. A woman in the army is a guarantee of national security. Betraying the nation by corrupting a woman is impossible.

Women are always firm and serious in their commitments. Congolese women must drive tanks, military aircraft, and command troops on the Grand Kivu front. A battle without the participation of women is a utopian strategy. It will be necessary to advocate for the Grand Kivu fronts to be led by female generals. Embezzlement and betrayal will be a distant memory. Women cannot run away and abandon their children alone in the battle.

Abandoning children to Rwandans to be liquidated is not worthy of a woman. A woman’s heart is more attached to the good, to the security of a nation, and to the happiness of the community. A head of state, a bishop, a professor, a scholar is born in a woman’s womb: she is an extraordinary being capable of solving many problems in a society. Thanks to her sixth sense, she can lead the world on the right path. A woman’s heart is sincere in its commitments.

Angela Davis is a Black American woman who fought hard against racial discrimination in her country. Valentina Tereshkova is the first female astronaut. Thus, entrusting command of soldiers on several military fronts in Kivu to female generals is not a crime, but a path to salvation for the Republic. Dilma, the daughter of a wealthy man, fought alongside Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro, and Che Guevara. She fought alongside Fidel, Raúl, and Che Guevara until the liberation of Cuba. She later married President Raúl Castro. She assumed great responsibilities within the Cuban Communist Party.

Before the Chinese Revolution, Chinese women were not allowed to leave their homes. From childhood, their feet were bound to keep them small and thin. On deformed feet, they could not run away. It was Chairman Mao who fought this political philosophy in China. Today, Chinese women work everywhere and with complete freedom. They are engineers, military pilots, business leaders, and so on. Communism is a science of liberation from female oppression.

We call ourselves comrade because women and men are equal when it comes to responsibilities in the development of a nation. We are working for the decolonization of the human spirit. Congolese women must work effectively for the liberation of the country. The bees and swallows of Paul Kagame’s fascist regime easily destroy the attack plan against him. Paul Kagame has gained a lot thanks to his swallows. Why should our women remain in the shadows?

We dedicate this column to Madame and comrade Andrée Blouin, born to a Central African mother and a French father, a revolutionary and pan-Africanist. She was the principal advisor to Lumumba and Pierre Mulele.

Tribute to Congolese women within the FARDC and the Wazalendos.

Glory to the African woman who fights for the decolonization of Africa, our motherland.

Long live solidarity between peoples.

Homeland or death, we will win!
