A | GOMA, Congo -- Congo's president said he will gradually ease the state of military rule in the conflict-riddled east and lift some restrictions imposed more than two years ago. Speaking to the nation Thursday, President Felix Tshisekedi said there would be a gradual easing of the state of siege in North Kivu and Ituri provinces, which includes ending a curfew, allowing peaceful demonstrations and for people to live normal lives.The announcement comes more than two months ahead of presidential elections, when Tshisekedi hopes to secure a second term. He implemented the state of siege in 2021, allowing military and police to take control from civilian institutions, in an attempt to stem rising violence.More than 120 armed groups are fighting in the region, mostly for land and control of mines with valuable minerals, while some groups are trying to protect their communities.“I have taken the firm resolution to lead the populations of the provinces of Ituri and North Kivu towards a gradual and progressive easing of the regime and the restriction of the state of siege,” said Tshisekedi.Civil society and rights groups have criticized the state of siege, accusing security forces of exploiting their power against the population.“It has failed in its stated purpose of rapidly improving the security situation. Military authorities have instead used their extraordinary powers to further undermine people’s rights with impunity, including freedoms of expression and assembly, and the right to justice,” said Amnesty International.Despite military rule, violence in the region has continued and intensified. At least one militia linked to the Islamic State group has expanded its presence, while rebel groups such as M23 have seized towns, displacing tens of thousands of people. The United States Embassy in Congo said Thursday that it was greatly concerned about the increased violence in North Kivu province, where M23 is active, and the ensuing loss of lives and displacement. It called on the government to redouble its efforts to protect civilians. ———Kamale reported from Kinshasa。 新加坡总理黄循财在国庆致辞中,针对高昂生活成本问题,作出了一系列郑重承诺。他强调政府已采取措施保护新加坡人免受全球通胀冲击,并承诺加强社会安全网与工人培训计划,以提升收入并缓解财富不平等。1. 生活成本不断上涨的应对措施新加坡总理Lawrence Wong在周四的国庆致辞中,针对当前新加坡人最为关切的生活成本问题,做出了郑重承诺。来源:联合早报他表示,尽管全球价格波动难以控制,但新加坡政府将“加倍努力”,通过一系列措施减轻新加坡人的经济负担。Wong总理强调,新加坡政府已经并将继续通过保持新加坡元坚挺等措施,保护新加坡人免受全球通胀的严重冲击。同时,为了更全面地应对生活成本上升的挑战,政府将加强社会安全网,并推出重新培训工人的计划,作为提高收入和解决财富不平等问题战略的重要组成部分。作为财政部长,Wong总理在今年早些时候提出的预算中,已包含了高达50亿新元的现金支付和税收减免等措施,旨在直接惠及民众。他透露,到本十年末,这一数字将增长至近400亿新元。在周四的讲话中,Wong总理还详细阐述了政府帮助新加坡人应对“就业挫折”和加强家庭支持的计划。
