The importance of the operation to control FARDC elements
In a context of growing tensions in the region, the operation to control elements of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) is of crucial importance. Launched by the President of the Republic, this operation aims to reorganize the national army and control its numbers.
During a press briefing, the spokesman of the FARDC General Inspectorate, Major Gerry Gbelo, stressed that this operation is necessary because the army has not been controlled for nearly 26 years. This absence of control has led to a lack of knowledge of the actual strength of the FARDC, which represents a major challenge for the reorganization of the army.
The control operation extends over the entire extent of the national territory, both in garrison and in operation. This measure aims to ensure that the army has a known and reliable workforce, in order to respond to the various threats facing the country. In particular, the porous borders with neighboring countries and the war imposed by Rwanda require a well-organized army capable of defending the integrity of the national territory.
The operation to control elements of the FARDC is therefore an essential step in ensuring stability and security in the Democratic Republic of Congo. By knowing precisely the strength of the army, it is possible to put in place adequate measures, both in terms of training and equipment, to strengthen the country’s defense capabilities.
This control operation also testifies to the government’s desire to take decisive measures to put an end to insecurity and the threat to the population. By strengthening the army and ensuring its reorganization, the country is giving itself the means to face security challenges and protect its citizens.
It is important to underline that this operation of control of the elements of the FARDC is not limited to a simple check of the personnel, but also aims to establish a rigorous discipline within the army. This will ensure the effective and professional functioning of the military institution, capable of meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow.
In conclusion, the operation to control elements of the FARDC is an essential step for the Democratic Republic of Congo. By reorganizing and controlling the workforce of the army, the country strengthens its defense capacity and ensures the safety of its population. This is a decisive step that demonstrates the government’s determination to face security challenges and guarantee the country’s stability.
