The Congolese Students' Association (Association des élèves et étudiants Congolais or AEEC) is an organization of young people and students (students' union) in the Republic of the Congo[1] whose aim is to educate and transmit the skills of everyday life to young people, notably through the prevention of HIV / AIDS, the development of national youth policies, by listening to youth expectations, by participatory local analysis of the situation of young people and a national strategic framework. Lassy Mbouity is the founder and first General Secretary of this students' union.[2] The AEEC is currently present in many universities in the Republic of the Congo and throughout Africa.

History of the Congolese Students' Association (AEEC)

Founded in the early 2000s as a students' union, the AEEC has always been an organization that is involved in supporting the education of communities and territories in Africa.[3]

Object

The Congolese Students' Association (AEEC) aims to defend the interests of pupils and students of the Republic of the Congo in order to express their opinions on the management of the national education system.[4]

National Congress

The National Congress is the sovereign organ of the Congolese Students' Association (AEEC), which meets every five (5) years in Brazzaville. The members of the Congress are elected by the Local Administrative Commissions which will elect the National Board.

National Office

The National Office is the executive body of the AEEC which implements the decisions of the National Congress and ensures the link between the Local Administrative Commissions.

The National Office is composed by the General Secretary or First Secretary, the Deputy Secretary General or Second Secretary and the General Treasurer , all from the various Local Administrative Commissions.

National Youth Policy

Since its foundation in 2008, the AEEC has always been supporting the government of the Republic of the Congo and has never been blamed for organizing acts of violence.

In June 2016, Lassy Mbouity was re-elected as the General Secretary of the AEEC, which was perceived as an internal consolidation of the new youth-controlled leadership.

On October 20, 2015, the AEEC called on all members to participate and vote in the 2015 referendum in the Republic of the Congo called by President Denis Sassou Nguesso. The new constitution stipulates that the President of the Republic of the Congo is elected for a seven-year term, renewable once. In addition, candidates for the presidential election must be at least forty years old or less than seventy years old. The draft constitution provides that the president will be elected for a five-year term, renewable twice.[5]

On 4 November 2016, several young people of the majority demonstrated for the country to leave the International Criminal Court (ICC). As soon as they arrived at the Ministry of Justice, the young people sent the government a document entitled Advocacy for the withdrawal of the Congo from the ICC.[6]
