In Musandaba village, an attack attributed to Ugandan terrorists from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) caused tragedy last Friday night. The leader of the Buliki groupement, from the Rwenzori sector, recently gave a devastating assessment of this attack, with three civilians killed and another kidnapped by the rebels. The victims, all men, were savagely executed with machetes in their own fields.
This attack has sown desolation and fear among the population of Lisasa and its surroundings. The bodies of the victims were repatriated to their villages of origin, causing deep sadness and a feeling of insecurity among the inhabitants. Faced with this alarming situation, the population is now pleading for the installation of a military position at Livano, considered to be the main passage for the ADF coming from Graben.
This tragic attack once again raises the reality of the terrorist threat in the region. The ADF are known for their brutal acts of violence and attacks on civilians. It is therefore crucial to strengthen security and take measures to prevent such terrorist acts in the future. Cooperation between local and international security forces is essential to combat these groups and protect the population.
The Congolese State must also put in place measures to strengthen security in areas at risk and ensure the protection of vulnerable populations. Setting up a military position in Livano could be an important first step in deterring the ADF and guaranteeing the safety of the inhabitants.
In conclusion, this attack underlines the urgency to act in the face of the terrorist threat in the Musandaba region. The loss of life and the trauma suffered by the population are poignant reminders of the need to strengthen security and take concrete measures to protect civilians. It is essential that Congolese authorities and international security forces work together to eradicate this threat and prevent further attacks
