Although they weren't granted the possibility to vote in the past presidential and parliamentary elections, they protested to bring awareness to the situation in their country and in some cases to protest the results of the elections and to demand the departure of President Kabila. 
Ingawa hawakupewa haki ya kupiga kura katika uchaguzi uliopita wa rais na wabunge, waliandamana kwa lengo la kuifanya dunia kutambua hali inavyoendelea nchini mwao na kwa matukio mengine kupinga matokeo ya uchaguzi na kudai kuondoka kwa Rais Kabila.
