Recently, the young residents of Ngite, a locality near Beni in North Kivu, showed great courage in denouncing the escalating attacks by the ADF despite the associated risks. On April 25, these brave youths took to the streets, erecting barricades to demand action in the face of a deteriorating security situation. Their protest led to the disruption of socio-economic activities, prompting police intervention to restore order.
This demonstration was in response to a recent incident on April 22 when Congolese and Ugandan forces engaged and neutralized two ADF fighters attempting to infiltrate Masulukwede village from the Sayo region. Witness Jean Paul Kahangondi commended the efforts of the FARDC and UPDF in combating these armed groups, emphasizing the need for continued support to safeguard civilians.
In light of the mounting insecurity and persistent threat posed by armed groups, urgent measures are necessary to ensure the safety of civilians. The mobilization of Ngite’s youth serves as a poignant message to authorities and the international community, urging resolute action in addressing this complex crisis.
The situation in Ngite underscores the immediate need for sustained collaborative efforts to combat armed groups and protect vulnerable populations. It is imperative to implement lasting solutions that guarantee the security of communities and restore peace in this conflict-ridden region.
