As part of efforts to strengthen the operational capacities of the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) in Ituri province, the National Assembly recently granted an envelope of US$100,000. This financial assistance was given by the caucus of parliamentarians of the province under state of siege.
The objective of this contribution is to support the soldiers engaged in the fight against the activism of armed groups in the region. National deputy Jean-Claude Drazza, representing the caucus, pointed out that the National Assembly had mandated this financial support to help the FARDC restore state authority and maintain peace in Ituri.
The delivery of this envelope was made in the presence of the military governor of the province, Lieutenant-General Luboya N’kashama. The latter assured that the funds would be used responsibly and effectively in operations for the pacification of the region.
It is important to emphasize that the FARDC have an essential role in tracking down local and foreign armed groups in Ituri and in the province of North Kivu. Their commitment is crucial to guarantee the safety of local populations and restore stability in the region.
This initiative of the National Assembly bears witness to the political will to support the efforts of the armed forces to put an end to insecurity in the Ituri region. It is essential to provide adequate resources and financial support to the soldiers who risk their lives to protect the population and restore peace in the region.
In conclusion, this financial aid of $100,000 granted by the National Assembly to the FARDC demonstrates the commitment of the Congolese government to fight against armed groups and to restore security in the province of Ituri. The State’s contribution is essential to strengthen the operational capacities of the armed forces and ensure the protection of local populations. However, it is also important to implement complementary measures, such as strengthening governance and socio-economic development, to consolidate long-term peacemaking efforts
