In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the security situation is once again in the spotlight. Tongues are loosened on the web speculating on the arrest of Salomon SK Della, collaborator of Moïse Katumbi, at the heart of an investigation affecting security. His brother, Moïse Moni Della, confirmed that he was at the Military Intelligence Staff (formerly Demiap).
If this hypothesis is confirmed, he would be the subject of a hearing for potentially serious, compromising facts and affecting national security which could put his freedom at stake. For the moment, no details have yet been given on the reasons for his arrest and the charges against him.
However, we can advance with caution that considering the nature of the cases handled by this service, the situation of Salomon SK Della is very worrying and requires great caution. Moreover, speculation has been conducted on the web concerning the illegal possession of firearms and the attempt to travel with them in violation of civil aviation regulations.
At this point, it is appropriate to respect the presumption of innocence of Mr. Salomon SK Della until further information. We are eagerly waiting for the services to be able to open a pan of veils on this situation in the coming hours.
In any case, this case highlights once again the security fragility in the DRC and the political tensions that result from it. There is therefore an urgent need to strengthen stability to allow the country to move forward on the path of democracy and prosperity.
