ADF rebels continue their attacks in the Mambasa region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, sowing terror and destruction in their wake. Over the past few days, they have carried out several incursions into the localities of Lomalisa, Bandibwane and Ndalya, causing panic among residents.
The attacks were carried out from Tuesday August 1 to Thursday August 3, with tragic consequences. Two civilians lost their lives, a soldier was injured, and many houses were burned. The ADF will stop at nothing, going so far as to burn a vehicle and injure the driver with bullets.
Faced with this growing threat, the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) had to intervene to repel the rebels. Exchanges of fire took place, and one rebel was shot dead. However, the assessment is not yet final, and the authorities are awaiting a more detailed report to assess the extent of the damage.
These repeated attacks have created psychosis among the population of Mambasa-Centre, pushing many residents to flee the region. The New Civil Society, representing the interests of citizens, is sounding the alarm and calling on the government to act quickly to stop the advance of the rebels. The latter are moving to escape military pressure in the Komanda-Luna area, which further complicates the situation.
It is crucial that the authorities take effective measures to ensure the security of the region’s inhabitants, protect them from ADF attacks, and restore a climate of peace and tranquility. People need to feel safe at home, and to be able to go about their daily activities without fearing for their lives.
The fight against rebel groups is a major issue in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it is essential to strengthen military operations to put an end to insecurity in the Mambasa region. Cooperation between local and international forces is essential to effectively combat the ADF and ensure stability in the area.
In conclusion, the repeated attacks by ADF rebels in the Mambasa region of the Democratic Republic of Congo are a source of major concern. It is urgent that the government take effective measures to protect the population and stop the advance of the rebels. Cooperation between local and international forces is essential to combat this threat and restore stability in the region.
