In the unstable regions of North Kivu, security services have recently arrested influential figures in the region. These arrests raised questions within the local community.
One of the notable figures arrested is Emmanuel Kamanzi Runigi, president of the Tutsi community and of the board of directors of the Association of Farmers and Breeders Groups of Kivu (ACOGENOKI). Following his local interrogation, he was transferred to Kinshasa. Other personalities, such as deputies and notables, were also arrested and some were subsequently released from suspicion.
These actions by the authorities naturally aroused reactions and speculation among the population. However, the president of the intercommunity Barza of North Kivu calls for trust in Congolese justice and the ongoing process.
It is important to emphasize that any legal action must respect legal rights and procedures, and that everyone must be considered innocent until proven guilty. These events highlight the importance of transparency and justice to ensure stability and trust within the community.
It is necessary to remain vigilant as the situation evolves and hope that these actions will contribute to strengthening the security and stability of the North Kivu region.
