At UDPS Liege, Damien Twambilangana questions (FR) Patient Bagenda's mobilization of his NGO Anti-Bwaki in favor of the DRC's new constitution. (The constitution was voted in by referendum last December. ) Twambilangana who is a member of Debout pour le Congo [Stand Up for Congo]confronted Bagenda with his questions at a panel “Will Civil Society save the DRC?” held March 16 by a Belgian NGO. During the panel, Bagenda argued that civil society erred when it took on a managerial role during the transition period instead of mobilizing and educating the population on key issues.
LJ user lipski reports (RUS): “People are leaving the square en masse. The reasons: audibility is poor (people do not understand why they are standing there, what is being said and what is to be done afterwards), and it's cold. In 1-1 1/2 hours, there'll probably be 1-2 thousand people left.”
LJ user lipski reports (RUS) from Minsk where some 15,000 people have gathered to support the opposition: “The rally's taking place on the steps outside the Trade Unions Palace. Milinkevich is speaking, but what he's saying isn't audible. There're no sound amplifiers and they're using megaphones. People stand and actively support the speakers, but further plans can neither be heard, nor understood. Kazulin and Lebedko are also there. Kalyakin reports that, according to independent exit polls, less than 50% have given their votes for Lukashenko. People in the crowd are joking about the heavy snow: that's snow cannons :-))”
