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.
