Title: The challenges of displaced people from Kwamouth during the Christmas holidays in Bandundu
Introduction :
Christmas Day, supposed to be a day of joy and celebration, was very different for the displaced people of Kwamouth settled in the town of Bandundu. These men, women and children who fled insecurity in their region find themselves abandoned, without assistance or support from the government. As the residents of Bandundu prepared to celebrate Christmas, these displaced people spent the day hungry, without even being able to afford a decent meal.
The dismay of the displaced:
Among the displaced, some express their despair and sadness in the face of this situation. Nsele Monkango, a displaced person, declares with bitterness: “During this festive period, we too should celebrate like all the other Congolese, but unfortunately, we are deprived of humanitarian assistance. We spent Christmas Day without even putting on something to eat. We don’t even have rice. And I fear the situation will be the same for the New Year.”
The regret of not being at home:
Bienvenu Kasiama, a displaced father, expresses his regret at not being home to celebrate the holidays. He explains that in their region of origin, he is very resourceful and able to obtain food for his children. But in Bandundu, as displaced people, they are considered vulnerable and destitute people. The children of the displaced also feel sad and deprived of the joy of Christmas.
The call for assistance:
The displaced people of Kwamouth can now only count on the assistance of people of good will to hope to celebrate the New Year in a more dignified way. They hope that humanitarian aid will reach them to enable them to experience this festive period in more acceptable conditions.
Conclusion :
The situation of displaced people from Kwamouth living in Bandundu is worrying, especially during the holiday periods when they find themselves deprived of food and the means to celebrate with dignity. It is crucial that measures are taken to help these vulnerable people, so that they can experience moments of happiness and joy, even in difficult circumstances. Humanitarian assistance is essential to offer them some respite and relief during this festive period.
