HRPF Shujaa 2025 Manifesto: A Vision for Human Rights, Unity, and a Stronger Congo

The Human Rights Protection Front (HRPF Shujaa) presents its 2025 Manifesto as a bold response
to decades of conflict, weak governance, and social inequality in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

For decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo has carried the weight of conflict, corruption,
fragile institutions, and deep social divisions. Despite vast natural and human resources,
millions of Congolese continue to live without access to basic services, security, or justice.

The HRPF Shujaa 2025 Manifesto is built on one guiding principle:
No rights, no life. It outlines a vision for restoring dignity, peace, and opportunity
through accountable leadership and respect for human rights.

A Nation Built on Human Rights

At the heart of the manifesto is the belief that human rights are fundamental and non-negotiable.
HRPF Shujaa envisions a Congo where citizens live without fear, where justice replaces impunity,
and where leadership serves the people rather than personal interests.

According to HRPF Shujaa, peace and development cannot exist without restoring the rule of law
and ensuring equal rights for all Congolese.

A Clear Diagnosis of Congo’s Challenges

The manifesto presents a direct and uncompromising diagnosis of the nation’s challenges.
Systemic corruption, political instability, weak judicial systems, and ongoing armed conflict
continue to undermine governance and public trust.

Public services such as healthcare, education, electricity, and clean water remain inaccessible
to large segments of the population, especially in rural and conflict-affected areas.

An Economy That Serves the People

HRPF Shujaa proposes an economy rooted in Congo’s natural and human resources.
The manifesto calls for moving away from donor dependency, predatory mining, and subsistence
farming toward sustainable agriculture, industrial development, and technological advancement.

Education, entrepreneurship, and innovation are identified as the pillars of economic transformation,
with women and youth positioned as central drivers of growth.

Democratic Leadership and Accountable Governance

Democracy, as envisioned by HRPF Shujaa, extends beyond elections. It requires active citizen
participation, transparency, and the ability to hold leaders accountable.

The manifesto rejects politics based on ethnicity or exclusion and emphasizes competence,
integrity, and ideas. Gender equality is treated as essential for national development.

Social Welfare as a Measure of Progress

Social welfare is presented as a key indicator of development. HRPF Shujaa prioritizes access
to healthcare, free and quality education, social protection for vulnerable groups, and
investment in cultural identity.

Community-based health insurance, school feeding programs, and improved housing and settlement
policies form part of a broader effort to improve quality of life.

Unity, Anti-Corruption, and Security

National unity is central to the manifesto’s vision. HRPF Shujaa seeks to heal historical
divisions, restore trust among communities, and guarantee equal citizenship for all.

The movement takes a firm stance against corruption, calling for strong institutions,
public accountability, and a culture of responsibility. Security reforms focus on disciplined,
people-centered forces that protect citizens and respect democratic authority.

A Call to Build a Dignified Future

The HRPF Shujaa 2025 Manifesto is a call for Congolese citizens to reclaim their future.
It challenges systems that normalize injustice and encourages collective participation
in building a peaceful, just, and inclusive nation.

By placing human rights at the center of governance, HRPF Shujaa presents a roadmap toward
a Congo defined by dignity, unity, and sustainable progress.
