President Félix Tshisekedi has pledged to communicate soon on the state of siege in the provinces of Ituri and North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This announcement was made during the Council of Ministers held recently in Kinshasa.
The Congolese Head of State has promised to examine the current situation and communicate to the nation on the measures to be taken. He also asked the government to support diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the insecurity in the east of the country.
At the same time, Prime Minister Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde presented President Tshisekedi with the recommendations resulting from the round table on the state of siege. It is now up to the Head of State to make the final decision on the future of this measure.
A state of siege was declared more than two years ago in the provinces of Ituri and North Kivu to deal with the unrest and insecurity there. This measure aims to restore peace and stability in the region, but its effectiveness and duration raise questions.
The population is now impatiently awaiting President Tshisekedi’s communication, hoping for clarification on the future of the state of siege and the actions that will be taken to guarantee the safety and well-being of the inhabitants of these provinces.
This is a crucial issue for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and it is essential that the authorities take effective measures to resolve the problems of insecurity and violence in the east of the country.
The next few days will therefore be decisive in assessing the decisions taken by President Tshisekedi and the Congolese government regarding the state of siege. The population expects concrete and lasting actions to improve the situation and establish real security in the region.
It is essential that the authorities continue to work closely with regional and international actors to find lasting solutions to these problems and ensure peace and stability in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. President Tshisekedi’s communication will therefore be eagerly awaited and we hope that it will provide satisfactory answers to the concerns of the population
