“Akon’s performance on this day will signal a new chapter of hope for a generation in the DRC and Great Lakes region”, said Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One Day, before the show started.
Peace One Day’s objective in DRC is to make a measurable reduction in violence in the region by Peace Day 2016, at the latest.
The DRC is one of the poorest, least stable countries on the continent, with a weak central government and competing warlords who control various territories in the eastern half of the country.
Akon also visited Kenya last Thursday, where he continued to promote his Akon Lighting Africa campaign and met with President Uhuru Kenyatta and energy industry leaders.
Akon has partnered with the Kenyan government to help bring electricity to the Kibera slums of Nairobi.
