Title: The vital importance of the construction of the new Ruuj bridge in Kapanga, DRC
Introduction :
The territory of Kapanga in the province of Lualaba, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is today facing a major challenge: rebuilding the Ruuj bridge, which collapsed almost four months ago. This situation has hampered trade and the movement of residents, directly impacting their daily lives. Fortunately, the central government of the DRC recently released the sum of 320,000 dollars for the construction of a new bridge. The work, carried out by the Roads Office, should be completed within 21 days.
The Ruuj Bridge, a crucial issue for Kapanga:
The Ruuj Bridge is of paramount importance to the people of Kapanga. It not only ensures the movement of goods and people, but also facilitates trade with other territories and cities. Since the collapse of the bridge, the inhabitants of Kapanga have encountered many difficulties in accessing certain basic necessities, such as smoked fish, imported rice or even products from Angola.
A call to action ignored for too long:
Faced with this deplorable situation, the inhabitants of Kapanga have multiplied their appeals to the authorities, both at central and provincial level. Unfortunately, their requests remained unanswered for some time, which exacerbated the difficulties faced by the population. Richard Mukanz, Reporting Secretary of the Territorial Youth Council of Kapanga, deplores the lack of responsiveness of the authorities and calls for rapid action to resolve this crisis.
A new hope with the imminent construction of the new bridge:
The Government’s decision to release the necessary funds for the construction of the new Ruuj bridge is a ray of hope for the inhabitants of Kapanga. The work, which will be carried out by the Roads Office, should make it possible to quickly restore traffic and alleviate the difficulties encountered by the population. In just 21 days, residents will once again be able to benefit from easier access to trade and basic necessities.
Conclusion :
The reconstruction of the Ruuj Bridge in Kapanga is a crucial project for the well-being and socio-economic development of the region. Thanks to the intervention of the Government, the inhabitants will soon be able to see the end of their suffering and regain normal access to trade. However, it is important to stress the importance of the responsiveness of the authorities to the needs of the population
