Fatshimetrie: Serial robberies shake the city of Kisangani
The city of Kisangani, in the province of Tshopo, is in the grip of a worrying wave of burglaries. About ten houses have been targeted by armed criminals, sowing fear and insecurity among the inhabitants of the Kabondo commune and the Plateau Boyoma and Médical districts of the Makiso commune.

After discovering the burglary of his house, he expresses a mixture of surprise, gratitude to God and a call for forgiveness towards the thieves. This reaction marked by resilience in the face of adversity illustrates the bravery of the inhabitants in the face of this series of robberies.
However, the scale of the attacks legitimately raises questions about the authorities’ ability to ensure the security of citizens. The city councilor, one of the four people targeted by the armed robbers, calls for concrete measures to protect the population from these criminal acts. The persistent threat of banditry requires a proactive response from local authorities to ensure the peace of mind of Kisangani residents.

The uncertainty and fear generated by these burglaries reveal the need for coordinated and effective action to prevent new incidents. Faced with this ordeal, community solidarity and vigilance are essential to protect the population and restore a climate of trust in the city of Kisangani.
