In the heart of the majestic mountains of North Kivu, the town of Baswagha-Lubena is gradually recovering from the tumults caused by attacks by ADF rebels. Far from being just a simple grouping of houses, this dynamic and resilient community is reinventing itself after being shaken by violence.
For almost two months, residents have lived in terror, forced to leave their homes and fields to escape the violence of the attacks. The poignant stories of witnesses echo a human tragedy, disrupted lives and displaced populations. Despite these trials, hope is slowly being reborn in the bruised hearts of Baswagha-Lubena.
The joint presence of the FARDC-UPDF armed forces in the region was a decisive turning point in the return to normal life. The president of the local youth committee, Tchetche Kambale Musubao Aliamini, testifies to the saving impact of this military deployment. Thanks to this newfound security, nearly 70% of the population has already returned to their villages, determined to rebuild and resume their daily activities.
The first signs of recovery are encouraging: plowed fields, booming commercial activities, bustling markets. The vitality of Baswagha-Lubena resurfaces, timidly but resolutely. The residents are gradually regaining their smiles, despite the scars left by the tragic events of recent months.
However, reconstruction cannot be done without external help, without human solidarity. The victims of rebel atrocities deserve justice, reparation and comfort. Burnt homes must be rebuilt, wounds healed, hearts soothed.
In this period of rebirth, vigilance remains essential. Collaboration with security forces is essential to prevent further violence. The message from the president of the local youth committee resonates as a call for individual and collective responsibility, peace and fraternity.
Thus, Baswagha-Lubena stands as a symbol of resilience, courage and hope. In adversity, this community finds the strength to rebuild itself, to look to the future, to believe in a better tomorrow. Fatshimetrie, land of dignity and resistance, is writing a new page in its history, made of tears, courage and hope.
