The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) recently won a major victory by fully controlling the localities of Kafe, Mbogi and their surrounding areas on the coast of Lake Albert, formerly the scene of violent clashes between the Zaire and CODECO militias.
This significant progress is the result of the “zero tolerance” operation launched in Ituri to eradicate armed groups that threaten the stability of the region. Lieutenant Jules Ngongo, spokesperson for military operations in Ituri, stressed that the FARDC succeeded in neutralizing armed groups and restoring order in these formerly troubled areas.
During this operation, the military authorities made clear their determination to pursue all those who defy the current peace process. Those who resist will be hunted down and eliminated to ensure the security of local populations and impose peace in this province which has been under siege for several years.
Despite previously signed ceasefire agreements, armed groups continue to sow terror among civilians. The FARDC remains firm in its mission and is committed to putting an end to these abuses to guarantee the security and stability of the region.
This military advance represents an important step towards the pacification of Ituri and demonstrates the determination of the Congolese authorities to fight against the armed groups which threaten peace and security in the Lake Albert region.
