Looting of livestock and property in Kirumba: a crime that leaves the population in fear
On the night of Sunday to Monday October 30, 2023, the locality of Kirumba, located in the territory of Rutshuru in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was the scene of shocking looting. Armed individuals burst into the Kagando district, firing bullets and sowing terror among the population.
According to information collected from a local source, these bandits stole numerous livestock as well as valuable goods from several homes. Residents were caught off guard and had to take refuge in the nearby forest, fearing for their safety.
This looting highlights an alarming reality: the absence of law enforcement in the Kirumba region, more precisely in the Bambo group. This precarious situation causes deep concern among residents, who live in constant fear of being exposed to such acts of violence.
It is important to emphasize that the presence of military forces is crucial to ensure the security of citizens and prevent such crimes. It is therefore urgent that measures be taken to strengthen security in the Kirumba region and put an end to the impunity from which these armed bandits seem to benefit.
This incident also reminds us of the need to raise awareness among the population about protecting their property and to put in place additional security measures, such as alarms or surveillance systems, to deter criminals and guarantee the tranquility of residents.
In conclusion, the looting of livestock and property in Kirumba constitutes a particularly worrying crime which highlights the security gaps in this region. It is essential that the competent authorities take firm measures to ensure the safety of residents and put an end to these acts of violence which disturb the peace of the population.
