CONGOLESE INTELLIGENTSIA, REBUILDING THE STATE AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN FIZI TERRITORY, SOUTH-KIVU, R. D. CONGO/INTELLIGENTSIA CONGOLAISE, REFONDATION DE L'ETAT ET DEVELOPPEMENT LOCAL EN TERRITOIRE DE FIZI, SUD-KIVU, R. D. CONGO
Several authors have demonstrated, through theoretical and empirical studies, that democratic institutions play a very important role in the economic growth process. By clearly defining the mechanisms for accession to power and alternation of power, democratic regimes inhibit political destabilization. Most of the population of Fizi Territory, in the province of South Kivu, lives from agriculture, fishing, livestock breeding, small-scale trade and artisanal mining. Following the cyclical instability observed since the independence of Congo-Zaire in 1960, the Territory of Fizi has remained a red zone. The Force Bendera dam, Lake Tanganyika and the RN5, the main sources of local development, have never been exploited. Until 2008, the political intelligentsia navigated blindly without any local development planning tools. The long-awaited basic elections never took place. Sovereignty at grassroots level was violated and is now in the hands of the protectors of the land. As a result, the rebuilding of the now non-existent state is a real and pressing priority. Identity-based violence must be banished by all means.

Tiriti o Waitangi 101
Te Tiriti о Waitangi is often described as the foundation document of Aotearoa New Zealand and this is true, but it is also key moment in a journey that began with the first encounters between Maori and European, both positive and negative that began in earnest in the late eighteenth century. The Treaty was an agreement between two nations and international law gives clear guidance that such a treaty gives precedence to the language of the signatories over the language of those who propose it. Government attacks Maori rights The coalition Government formed in late 2023 has declared war on all things Maori, including, both minor parties seeking to reduce the rights of Maori in law.
