In the name of justice, survival, and dignity—

We, the People of the Kivus and surrounding regions, hereby declare our collective will to restore governance, order, and peace in our homeland after decades of:

Indiscriminate killings and mass displacement

Marginalization and forced statelessness

Deliberate underdevelopment and destroyed infrastructure

Political exclusion and failure of democratic representation

Repeated betrayals and unfulfilled peace agreements

Despite our cries, the central government in Kinshasa has continuously failed to act. Our suffering has been ignored. Our dignity, denied.

Therefore, we proclaim the establishment of an interim self-governing structure to ensure:

Protection of civilian lives and property

Restoration of essential services

Unity and security across our communities

A framework toward a peaceful and just future
