Visit of the EACRF Technical Assessment Team to Rumangabo and Kibumba in July 2023
In this month of July 2023, the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) Mandate Technical Assessment Team conducted a field visit, specifically to Rumangabo, Rutshuru, and Kibumba, in the territory of Nyiragongo. The purpose of this visit was to become familiar with the security situation in the region.
Accompanied by the head of the delegation and personal representative of the Chief of Staff of the National Defense Force of Burundi, General-Major Sibomana Ignace, the team began its visit to Rumangabo, considered the site of the pre- cantonment of the M23. The team spoke with the commander of the troops on the spot, in order to obtain more information on the security situation.
The delegation then traveled to Kibumba, where it met the commander of the Kenyan troops based in the area. This meeting allowed the team to gather more in-depth information on the security situation in this region.
At the same time, the head of the delegation also had discussions with the head of the locality of Kabaya and his group, who came from the Kisigari group. These discussions made it possible to obtain a better understanding of the daily reality of the local populations.
To complete their assessment, the delegation also plans to visit the entities of Mubambiro and Kilolirwe, in the territory of Masisi, where the contingents of the Regional Force of the East African Community are deployed.
This visit by the EACRF technical assessment team is an important step in monitoring the security situation in the region. It will make it possible to take appropriate measures to ensure the stability and security of local populations.
