Title: Rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis: a major step forward for opening up and sustainable development
Introduction :
The rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis in the territory of Djugu (Ituri) raises many hopes. The work, undertaken by the Umoja gold Ituri Cooperative, began in September and should make it possible to open up several entities in the Walendu Tatsi sector and the Bahema Banywagi chiefdom. This initiative, welcomed by the head of the Walendu Tatsi sector, Joel Mande, is of crucial importance on the security, economic and community levels. In this article, we will look at the benefits of this road rehabilitation for the local population and the promotion of development in the region.
1. Opening up and community cohesion:
The rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis contributes to opening up entities that were previously isolated. The groups of Bedu-Ezekere, Penyi, Jili and Tambaki, within the Bahema North chiefdom, will now benefit from better accessibility. This geographic opening will promote the movement of goods and people, thus strengthening links between different communities. Joel Mande underlines the importance of this community cohesion, which will resolve possible conflicts and promote harmonious development.
2. Economic impact and sustainable development:
The rehabilitation of this road offers new economic prospects for the population of the region. Food products such as cassava flour and potatoes can now be transported more easily to the town of Bunia, thus generating additional income for the inhabitants of the interior of the Monts Bleus. This increased economic activity will help improve the living conditions of local populations and stimulate economic growth in the region.
3. A call for peace and cooperation:
Joel Mande also takes this opportunity to appeal to armed groups present in the region, inviting them to stop any actions harmful to the community. According to him, the region’s development also depends on security and stability. He emphasizes the importance of working together to support the cooperative responsible for rehabilitating the road and to strengthen cohesion between the different communities.
Conclusion :
The rehabilitation of the Fichama-Penyi-Jili road axis represents a significant step towards opening up the entities in the Walendu Tatsi sector and the Bahema Banywagi chiefdom. This initiative, welcomed by the head of the sector Joel Mande, opens new economic prospects, promotes community cohesion and strengthens the sustainable development of the region. However, it is essential that peace and cooperation prevail in order to consolidate the gains made and ensure a prosperous future for this part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
