The annexation of land by the Ugandan army in the Mungo village of Rutshuru territory, North Kivu, has aroused concern and indignation among the population of the Busanza group. According to local sources, the Ugandans have crossed the borders of the DRC to a depth of approximately three kilometers.
This delicate situation has been brought to the attention of the Congolese government, which says it is closely monitoring the situation and using diplomatic channels to obtain accurate information and resolve this problem. The annexation of land by a foreign army is a flagrant violation of the territorial sovereignty of the DRC and must be treated with the utmost firmness.
To analyze this situation, we invited three experts. Norbert Yamba Yamba, chief of staff of the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of the Interior, Security and Decentralization, will shed light on the actions taken by the Congolese government to deal with this situation. Juvénal Munubo Mubi, elected national deputy for Walikale in North Kivu, will share his point of view as a representative of the people affected by this annexation. Finally, Tshibangu Kalala, professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Kinshasa and author of the work “The Democratic Republic of Congo and its 11 international borders: Geopolitics and International Law”, will bring his legal and geopolitical expertise to the issue. .
It is important to emphasize that this land annexation is not an isolated case in the DRC. The country has 11 international borders, and each border raises specific challenges in terms of geopolitics, security and territorial sovereignty. The DRC must face these challenges with determination, using all diplomatic and legal means at its disposal.
It is also crucial that the local population is heard and supported in this matter. The inhabitants of the Busanza group have already warned about the annexation of their lands, thus showing their commitment and their desire to defend their right to property and territorial sovereignty. The Congolese government must take these concerns seriously and act accordingly.
In conclusion, the annexation of land by the Ugandan army in the Mungo village is a serious violation of the territorial sovereignty of the DRC. The Congolese government must act quickly and firmly to resolve this situation, using all diplomatic, legal and security means at its disposal. The local population must be supported and listened to in this matter, in order to preserve their fundamental rights and dignity.
