Patrols by the MONUSCO force in response to alerts from the population on the movements of armed groups in the provinces of North and South Kivu as well as Ituri are a crucial element in the fight for the security and stability of the region. This mission, which is in addition to regular patrols already carried out, aims to protect local communities and prevent possible attacks.
The presence of MONUSCO is welcomed by the population who also benefit from quick impact projects in these provinces. This combination of military interventions and development actions helps to strengthen the confidence of local populations and improve their quality of life.
Commander Hassan Kheira, a member of the MONUSCO military spokesperson’s office, explained in an interview with Radio Okapi the actions undertaken by the force over the past week. These response patrols are essential to address public concerns and maintain security in the region.
The situation in the DRC remains complex and armed groups continue to pose a threat to the population. However, thanks to the commitment of MONUSCO and its peacekeeping forces, significant progress has been made in the fight against insecurity. Active patrols and close collaboration with local authorities are key elements to continue to ensure the protection of civilians and promote peace in the region.
In conclusion, MONUSCO patrols in response to population alerts on the movements of armed groups demonstrate the mission’s commitment to the security and protection of civilians. These actions are part of a global approach that combines military interventions and development projects to contribute to the stability of the region. Collaboration between MONUSCO, local authorities and the local population is essential to address the region’s complex challenges and promote lasting peace in the DRC.
