The governor of Maï-Ndombe helps the displaced people of Kwamouth and Maluku
The situation of displaced people in the province of Maï-Ndombe continues to concern local authorities. Governor Rita Bola recently took steps to assist displaced people from Kwamouth who returned to Kinsele, as well as those living in Maluku in the capital Kinshasa.
In a commendable gesture, the governor handed over a batch of food and essential supplies to the population of Kinsele, which is made up particularly of women and children. These displaced people were forced to leave their territory due to the insecurity that has reigned there for several months.
The assistance was not limited to the distribution of food, because the governor also provided a means of transport to facilitate the return of these displaced people to their village of origin. A measure that will allow beneficiaries to gradually return to normal life, in complete safety.
The displaced population of Kwamouth living in Maluku also benefited from the governor’s assistance. Nearly 700 people were assisted with food and non-food items, with the aim of relieving their precarious living conditions.
Asked about concerns about security in certain villages in Kwamouth, the governor’s spokesperson wanted to reassure the population. According to him, security measures have been strengthened and military patrols are present in the region to guarantee the safety of residents.
It is important to note that Kwamouth province has been affected by persistent insecurity for over a year. The incursions of the Mobondo militia led to numerous population displacements, loss of human life and deserted villages.
This gesture of solidarity from Governor Rita Bola towards the displaced people of Kwamouth and Maluku is a concrete response to the urgent needs of these vulnerable populations. It is essential that local authorities continue to support these displaced people and work towards the restoration of security in the Kwamouth region. By offering material assistance and strengthening security measures, it is possible to restore hope to these populations and help them rebuild their lives in dignified conditions.
