Title: Young accomplices of the ADF rebels in Mamove: a warning from civil society
Introduction:
Civil society in the locality of Mamove, in the territory of Beni, recently issued a warning to young people who collaborate with the ADF rebels in the region. Taking advantage of the cocoa harvest period, these youths pose as rebels and participate in criminal activities, causing growing concern for the security situation in the region. In this article, we explore this alarming situation in detail and call for collaboration between cocoa buyers and authorities to end this dangerous complicity.
Disguising the ADF for criminal activities:
According to the president of Mamove civil society, Kinos Kathuo, many young people disguised themselves as members of the ADF rebels in order to collaborate with them during the cocoa harvest period. They participate in criminal acts, killing innocent people and providing basic necessities to the rebels. This creates a worrying situation for the safety of residents in the region.
A worrying security situation in Mamove:
Kinos Kathuo describes the security situation in Mamove and its surroundings as totally worrying. After security forces bombed ADF strongholds in Ituri province, the rebels shifted their activities to the banks of the Samboko River, on the border with South Kivu province. By exploiting the cocoa harvest period, young ADF accomplices infiltrated the community, making the situation even more dangerous for civilians.
Call for collaboration and denunciation:
Faced with this situation, the civil society of Mamove is launching an appeal to cocoa buyers on the Mamove-Mali road to collaborate with the security authorities. It is crucial that stakeholders in the cocoa industry are vigilant and report any suspicious activity or presence of young people posing as members of the ADF. Such collaboration could help identify and neutralize these accomplices, thereby strengthening the security of the region.
Conclusion:
The complicity of young people with the ADF rebels in Mamove is a major concern for local security. By pretending to be rebels, these young people participate in criminal acts, putting the inhabitants of the region in danger. It is essential that civil society, security authorities and cocoa buyers work together to end this dangerous complicity. Only joint action can ensure the security and stability of Mamove and its surrounding areas, allowing residents to live in peace and prosper.
