It is intolerable to note the resurgence of insecurity in certain regions, such as recently in Kasindi Lubiriha, Beni territory, where a shop owner was seriously injured in an attack by armed individuals. This sad news once again underlines the urgent need to strengthen security measures to ensure the protection of local populations.
Armed attacks, such as the one targeting the shop owner in Kasindi, are violent acts that cause deep trauma to victims and their loved ones. It is crucial that the competent authorities take immediate measures to identify and neutralize these criminals, in order to restore a climate of security conducive to the well-being and development of the region’s inhabitants.
The appeal launched by the coordinator of the new civil society of the Basongora group, Denis Kalenga, strongly underlines the urgency of concerted action by the defense and security forces to put an end to these acts of violence. Collaboration between the police, the DRC armed forces and civil society is essential to ensure the protection of citizens and the stability of the region.
In parallel, the commander of the Congolese national police in Kasindi called for the identification of firearms carriers present in the region. This initiative aims to strengthen arms control and prevent further armed violence. It is imperative that each individual who owns a weapon registers and complies with the established rules, in the interest of collective security.
These tragic events in Kasindi are a cruel reminder of the fragility of peace and security in the North Kivu region. It is essential that national and local authorities, in collaboration with civil society and the population, join forces to combat insecurity and ensure a peaceful future for all.
In conclusion, the protection of citizens and the preservation of peace must be absolute priorities for the Congolese authorities. Faced with growing insecurity, it is imperative to act quickly and in a coordinated manner to put an end to armed violence and ensure a safe and peaceful environment for all.
