The presentation by the Congolese National Police of six alleged armed robbers in Kisangani on September 12, 2024 highlights a crucial security issue in the region. The members of this group, all young people aged 25 to 30, are accused of crimes and killings that have spread terror through the use of firearms and bladed weapons.
This revelation not only calls into question the extent of crime in Kisangani, but also underlines the importance of collaboration between the population and the security forces. Indeed, the responsibility to protect the community does not fall solely on the authorities, but requires the active involvement of everyone.
The arrest of these alleged criminals underlines the effectiveness of the work of the police, while highlighting the need for constant vigilance to guarantee the safety of all. The population of Kisangani is thus encouraged to share any information that could help the police prevent future criminal acts.
Faced with this situation, the Mayor of Kisangani, Delly Likunde Litawehe, recalled that security is a collective issue that requires everyone’s solidarity. It is essential that the population actively supports the authorities’ efforts to ensure the peace of the city and the protection of its inhabitants.
Ultimately, this case highlights the need for close collaboration between citizens and security forces to effectively combat crime. It also underlines the importance of remaining vigilant and united in the face of threats in order to preserve peace and security in Kisangani.
