In a recent development in the forced eviction case at the Kamul Inter building in Kinshasa/Gombe, new evidence has emerged during the investigation at the High Court. The incident, which has caused a furore, involves sixty-five people accused of acts of violence, attempted forced eviction and attack on the residence of former President Joseph Kabila.
During the hearing, Commander Delphin Kingombe, who was present at the scene to supervise the eviction operation, provided crucial statements. According to him, the operation began without a hitch, with the bailiff and his team evacuating the property without incident for a short period of time. However, the intervention of another group, led by a senior police officer, quickly put an end to the peaceful situation, plunging the scene into chaos.
The charges against the sixty-five people involved include serious charges such as criminal conspiracy, theft, destruction of property, and attempted murder. Interestingly, the majority of the accused claim to be members of the “Force du Progrès”, a group affiliated with the UDPS political party.
By deciding to close the investigation, the court has marked an important step in this case. The pleadings that will begin soon will give the various parties an opportunity to present their arguments.
