Resumption of activities in Bunagana by the M23 soldiers in 2023
After more than a year of control by M23 terrorists, Bunagana, in the province of North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is about to resume its activities. The military governor of the province, Lieutenant General Constant Ndima, announced the imminent reopening of the border in correspondence addressed to the various administrations concerned.
In this document, Governor Ndima asks the civil and military administration to take all necessary measures to equip the Bunagana border, under escort of the East African Community (EAC) force. He also mentions a letter from the Regional Force Commander of the East African Community, referring to an assessment report of the Bunagana border post.
According to the military governor, once the prerequisites identified by the Regional Force have been completed, the teams will be able to go down to the border to see the inventory of fixtures of the respective services to be transmitted to their hierarchy.
This announcement of the resumption of activities in Bunagana is a positive sign for the region, which has been strongly impacted by the instability caused by armed groups. The reopening of the border will facilitate trade and strengthen security in the region.
However, it is necessary to remain vigilant in the face of the presence of terrorist groups in the region. The authorities will have to take adequate measures to ensure the safety of people and property in Bunagana, while ensuring that this resumption of activities contributes to the stability and development of the region.
In conclusion, the imminent resumption of activities in Bunagana marks an important step in the fight against instability in the North Kivu region. However, it is essential to remain vigilant and take all necessary measures to ensure the security and development of this region
