Title: “The state of siege in North Kivu: denunciation of acts of intimidation on social networks”
Introduction :
During the round table on the state of siege held in Kinshasa, a certain section of the population used social networks to intimidate and exploit those who had expressed divergent ideas. This situation provoked the reaction of the military governor and commander of military operations in North Kivu, Constant Ndima, who denounced these acts and warned against any action of reprisals. This article looks at this incident and raises questions about the preservation of democracy and public order.
Unacceptable acts of intimidation:
The behavior of intimidation and instrumentalization on social networks, reported by the military governor of North Kivu, Constant Ndima, is an attack on the democratic spirit and public order. The divergent ideas expressed during the round table on the state of siege must be respected and debated constructively, without resorting to intimidating methods. These actions harm the tranquility of the population and do not reflect the values of a democratic society.
Zero tolerance for retaliation:
The military governor has made it clear that any form of retaliation or intimidation will not be tolerated. The security services are instructed to guarantee social peace and peaceful coexistence despite persistent differences. It is essential to preserve freedom of expression and promote open and respectful debate. Any violation of this rule will be severely punished in accordance with the law.
Waiting for the final decision:
While awaiting the final decision of President Félix Tshisekedi concerning the state of siege, it is essential to maintain a climate of calm and mutual respect. The different opinions expressed during the round table must be taken into account and evaluated objectively. The final decision must reflect the interests of the population and contribute to improving the security situation in North Kivu.
Conclusion :
The acts of intimidation and manipulation on social networks towards those who expressed divergent ideas during the round table on the state of siege are worrying. It is essential to preserve democracy and public order by encouraging constructive debate and respecting freedom of expression. Any form of retaliation or intimidation will not be tolerated and will be severely punished. While awaiting the President’s final decision, it is important to maintain an atmosphere of calm and mutual respect to promote a balanced and peaceful solution for North Kivu
