2025年4月13日，星期日，在圣安东尼奥的霜冻银行中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋俾斯麦·比永博在对阵多伦多猛龙队的比赛上半场为队友呐喊助威。
马刺队替补中锋俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 近日在社交媒体上发布了一段视频，向他的同胞们发出慷慨激昂的呼吁，希望他们在面对困扰刚果民主共和国多年的战火时，能够坚守希望。
“勇气并非诞生于安逸，”比永博说。“勇气诞生于烈火之中，也正是在那烈火里，我们才发现自己真正的模样。今天，我们万众一心……我相信那一天终将到来，在那一天，刚果东部不再因战争而闻名，而是因孩子们在街头自由奔跑而为人所知；在那一天，母亲们将安然入睡，无所畏惧……作为刚果人，我们的责任就是满怀希望。”
有时候，你能付出的唯有你的声音。
致所有能听到这番话的人，
请打开你们的耳朵，更重要的是，打开你们的心扉。
因为我们的人民理应拥有一个未来。
愿上帝保佑。 pic.twitter.com/2KiLGx8hGv— Bismack Biyombo (@ bismackbiyombo) December 19, 2025
比永博的这条信息发布之时，正值联合国安理会敦促卢旺达从刚果东部撤军，并将联合国驻刚果维和特派团（MONUSCO）的任务期限延长一年之际，因为尽管有美国从中斡旋的和平协议，该地区的战事仍在升级。
周日晚间，在球队于华盛顿取胜后，马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 向媒体提起了比永博的这段视频。
“如果任何人有六分半钟的时间——我相信大家都有——他们就应该上社交媒体，听听俾斯麦·比永博分享的那些关于刚果现状的话，”约翰逊说。“这比我今晚说的任何话都重要得多。”
“……我强烈、极力建议每个人都花时间去听一听。非常震撼，极具冲击力，令人印象深刻。这是他亲笔所书，一字一句皆是。”

How Spurs Bismack Biyombo used video to bolster spirits in Congo
San Antonio Spurs center Bismack Biyombo cheers on his teammates during the first half against the Toronto Raptors at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Spurs backup center Bismack Biyombo made an impassioned plea in a video on social media recently to his fellow Congolese to maintain hope in the face of the fighting that has plagued the Democratic Republic of Congo for years.
“Courage is not born in comfort,” Biyombo said. “Courage is born in fire, and it is in that fire that we discover who we truly are. And today we stand as one people … I believe in the coming day, a day when eastern Congo is not known for war but for children running freely through streets, a day when mothers will sleep without fear … Our responsibility as Congolese is to have hope.”
Sometimes, all you can offer is your voice.
To whoever this must reach,
open your ears and above all, open your heart.
Because our people deserve a future.
God bless. pic.twitter.com/2KiLGx8hGv— Bismack Biyombo (@ bismackbiyombo) December 19, 2025
Biyombo’s message came as the U.N. Security Council urged Rwanda to withdraw its forces from eastern Congo and extended the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo, known as MONUSCO, for a year, as fighting in the region escalated despite a U.S.-mediated peace deal.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson brought Biyombo’s video to the attention of the media Sunday night after the win at Washington.
“If anybody has six and a half minutes of their time, which they do, they should jump on social media, listen to Bismack Biyombo and some of the words he shared about what’s going on in Congo,” Johnson said. "It’s a lot more important than anything else I said tonight.
“… I’d highly and strongly suggest everybody make time to listen to that. Very powerful and impactful and impressive. He wrote it himself, every word.”
