Title: Military operations neutralize ADF rebels in the Mambasa region
Introduction :
The armed forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) recently carried out military operations in the Mambasa region of Ituri territory to hunt down Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels. The objective of these operations was to neutralize rebel fighters and restore security in the region. In this article, we will explore the results of these operations and the reactions of the local population and civil society.
Development :
Since last Wednesday, the Congolese army has been relentlessly tracking ADF rebels in the Babila Bakwanza chiefdom, where the latter are seeking to reorganize to commit abuses against civilians. The operations resulted in the neutralization of three ADF rebels and the capture of several weapons and munitions of war.
The FARDC spokesperson in Ituri, Lieutenant Jules Ngongo, praised the efforts of the security forces and stressed the importance of the collaboration of the population to carry out these operations. He also said that operations will continue to pursue ADF rebels and their collaborators in the region, thus allowing populations to return to their villages and resume their daily activities.
Congolese civil society in Mambasa, which closely follows these operations, expresses its relief at the results obtained. The president of this structure, Jhon Vuleveryo, encourages the FARDC to continue hunting down the ADF until their final entrenchment, stressing that the population is starting to return to their villages after periods of forced displacement.
Conclusion :
Military operations carried out by the FARDC in the Mambasa region made it possible to neutralize several ADF rebel fighters and recover weapons and munitions of war. This progress in the fight against armed groups contributes to restoring security and stability in the Ituri region. However, it is essential to continue efforts to completely eradicate the ADF threat and ensure the security of local populations. Collaboration between security forces and the population is crucial in this fight against armed groups, in order to allow communities to rebuild their lives and live in peace.
