It bears witness to our ability to support each other in the face of adversity’, read the press release from the Ministry of Social Affairs, Humanitarian Action and National Solidarity.
‘As an African and a member of the Congolese government, I am moved by the generosity of our African brothers. This solidarity is a reflection of our common identity’, added the source. The office of the Minister in charge of Social Affairs, Humanitarian Action and National Solidarity said that the African personalities brought food, blankets and basic necessities to the stricken families.
