The recent decision by the governor of the North Kivu province banning work on cemeteries in the city of Goma has sparked strong reactions among the population. This decree aims to preserve social peace and protect the memory of the deceased resting in these sacred places.
By canceling the previous decree decommissioning a portion of the ITIG cemetery, the governor clearly expressed his desire to put an end to the ongoing exhumations, considered to be a desecration of the graves. This decision was welcomed by the families of the deceased, who are mobilizing to preserve the integrity of the graves of their loved ones.
The counsel for the families of the deceased also welcomes this announcement, emphasizing the risks of popular uprising if the new acquisitions were authorized to continue the exhumation work.
This case highlights the need to respect the memory of the deceased and the importance of places of rest for bereaved families. It is essential to preserve the dignity of graves and to avoid any action that could disturb the peace and quiet of cemeteries.
This decision by the governor underlines the importance of preserving collective memory and the respect due to the deceased. It is essential to protect these places of contemplation and allow families to pay tribute to their loved ones with complete peace of mind.
