Fatshimetrie, September 21, 2024. The recent appointments made by the governor of the province of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo have sparked various reactions among the population. Indeed, these decisions aimed at establishing executives within his cabinet and other structures have been perceived as beneficial by many observers.
