National deputy Willy Bolio expressed last Saturday his disapproval of the government’s inaction in the face of situations of inter-community violence affecting the Teke community. In a press conference called “tribune of truth”, the elected representative of Bolobo described this situation as “ethnic cleansing”.
A year after the start of the atrocities in the territory of Kwamouth, in the province of Maï-Ndombe, the national deputy regrets “the deaf ear and the lack of a definitive solution to restore peace” on the part of the executive.
Facing the press, Willy Bolio, addressing the genesis of this conflict between the Teke and Yaka communities, accused the government of having used several diversions in recognizing the real intentions of the perpetrators of what he describes as “genocide”. of the Tekes.
“When the attackers started talking about themselves through videos they were circulating on social networks, the government was forced to change the version, he explained. The first version of the government said that there was a black hand. Then, cow sellers from Kwango. And, finally, we mentioned the Rwandans who would have passed through Congo-Brazzaville”.
Last May, Willy Bolio also expressed his refusal to attend the meeting organized by the President of the National Assembly, Christophe Mboso, with the aim of bringing peace and reconciling the Teke and Yaka communities. Being Teke himself, the deputy declined this invitation on the pretext that the president of the lower house is Yaka, the tribe accused of abuse.
These facts highlight the seriousness of the security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. State authorities are called upon to find a quick and adequate solution to put an end to this inter-community violence and guarantee the safety of local populations.
