Fred Bauma is paying the price for trying to motivate the Congo's youth to "TELEMA" which is native Lingala for "stand up."Imprisoned since March 15th, the 25-year-old activist managed to sneak a phone into his prison cell. He's been communicating with his large network of fellow activists, who have vowed to keep fighting to bring tangible change to their country. With the 2016 presidential elections approaching, and President Kabila threatening to stay in power past the 2-term limit, the youth activists have one unifying goal: rally the youth to have a say in the country's future, by any means necessary.
