A cry of distress echoes through the streets of Goma, as the city grapples with a wave of insecurity that has left its residents in fear and mourning. The recent discovery of the bodies of two young boys in the Kyeshero district has sent shockwaves through the community, underscoring the growing threat that looms over the population.
The president of the Goma municipal youth council, Moïse Norbert Akilimali, has condemned these heinous acts of violence, where young individuals were found tied up and brutally murdered, their faces bearing the marks of stone blows. The motive behind this gruesome crime remains veiled in mystery, leaving the community in a state of fear and bewilderment.
Calls for action have been urgently directed towards local authorities to ensure the safety of Goma’s inhabitants. The escalating armed presence, clashes between rival factions, and the circulation of illegal weapons have created an atmosphere of terror, jeopardizing the peace of the citizens. The city’s mayor and other officials are being implored to take decisive measures to safeguard civilians and restore harmony.
Regrettably, the threat looming over Goma is not an isolated incident. In less than 72 hours, the city has witnessed a spate of deadly violence, claiming the lives of innocent individuals through shootings, targeted killings, and barbaric acts. The mounting casualties have left the populace bracing for further tragedies.
In the face of this surge in violence, civil society groups and local leaders are demanding swift and resolute action from political and military authorities to quell the insecurity and safeguard the lives of the citizens. The urgency of the situation is evident, with successive tragedies unfolding in a brutal manner, necessitating a united and coordinated effort to combat this menace that threatens the region’s peace and stability.
Amidst the prevailing atmosphere of fear and despair in Goma, it is imperative for the authorities to assess the gravity of the situation and take resolute action to stamp out the insecurity plaguing the city. Unity, solidarity, and a commitment to protect the most vulnerable members of society must underpin all measures taken, with the shared aspiration of rekindling serenity and cohesion within the community.
