N\u00e9 le 13 juin 1981 \u00e0 Goma, Floribert Bwana Chui est issu d\u2019un milieu ais\u00e9. Apr\u00e8s des \u00e9tudes de droit et d\u2019\u00e9conomie, il d\u00e9bute sa carri\u00e8re \u00e0 Kinshasa au sein de l\u2019Office Congolais de Contr\u00f4le (OCC), l\u2019organisme public charg\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9valuer la conformit\u00e9 des produits traversant les fronti\u00e8res nationales. Il est rapidement mut\u00e9 \u00e0 Goma, o\u00f9 il devient chef de bureau de l\u2019OCC \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re Est.<\/p>\n

Catholique fervent, cat\u00e9chiste d\u00e8s son enfance, Floribert rejoint au cours de sa vie \u00e9tudiante la communaut\u00e9 de Sant\u2019Egidio, mouvement chr\u00e9tien international engag\u00e9 dans la pri\u00e8re et le service des plus vuln\u00e9rables. \u00c0 Goma, il s\u2019investit activement dans l\u2019assistance aux enfants des rues.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est dans le cadre de ses fonctions douani\u00e8res que Floribert est confront\u00e9 \u00e0 une s\u00e9rie de pressions et de menaces : on lui demande d\u2019autoriser l\u2019entr\u00e9e de tonnes de produits alimentaires p\u00e9rim\u00e9s, en \u00e9change de pots-de-vin. Refusant de c\u00e9der \u00e0 la corruption, il fait d\u00e9truire plusieurs cargaisons jug\u00e9es toxiques. \u00c0 ses coll\u00e8gues et \u00e0 ses proches, il confie : \u00ab Est-ce que je vis pour le Christ ou pas ? Voil\u00e0 pourquoi je ne peux accepter. Mieux vaut mourir que d’accepter cet argent. \u00bb<\/p>\n

Le 7 juillet 2007, alors \u00e2g\u00e9 de 26 ans, Floribert est enlev\u00e9, tortur\u00e9, puis assassin\u00e9 \u00e0 Goma. Son corps sans vie est retrouv\u00e9 au petit matin. Pour Mgr Faustin Ngabu, ancien \u00e9v\u00eaque de Goma, sa mort fut \u00ab une manifestation forte de sa foi chr\u00e9tienne. Il est mort en raison de son honn\u00eatet\u00e9. \u00bb<\/p>\n

En f\u00e9vrier 2023, lors de sa visite historique en RDC, le pape Fran\u00e7ois a rendu un hommage appuy\u00e9 \u00e0 ce jeune homme lors d\u2019une rencontre avec les jeunes et les cat\u00e9chistes \u00e0 Kinshasa. \u00ab Il ne s\u2019est pas laiss\u00e9 vaincre par le Mal, mais il a vaincu le Mal par le Bien \u00bb, d\u00e9clare alors le souverain pontife, saluant le courage et l\u2019int\u00e9grit\u00e9 du jeune martyr.<\/p>\n

Cette b\u00e9atification marque la premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape vers sa canonisation.<\/p>\n

Floribert Bwana Chui Bin Kositi devient ainsi le quatri\u00e8me bienheureux de la R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo.<\/p>\n
