The territory of Lufuna, located in the Popokaba region, is facing an alarming situation due to the presence of Mobondo militiamen who have been operating in the region for several months. The inhabitants of this sector live in constant fear, harassed by these armed men who have set up camp in the village of Ipongi. This situation was relayed by the president of the local civil society, Bernard Kosi, who highlighted the absence of security services in the region.
According to information reported by Bernard Kosi, the Mobondo militiamen have not only established their presence in Ipongi, but they are also venturing into the neighboring groups of Kalama and Ikomba in search of food to ensure their subsistence. Although acts of violence have decreased compared to a previous period, the local population is constantly being harassed by these militiamen in search of means of survival.
Bernard Kosi’s call for concrete measures to end the Mobondo threat in the region is a strong signal of the distress of the local populations. Popokaba is the second territory in Kwango to be affected by the activism of these militiamen, after the Kenge territory. The presence of the Mobondo in this remote region represents a major challenge for the local authorities, who are struggling to ensure the safety and protection of the inhabitants.
It is imperative that large-scale actions be put in place to neutralize the threat of the Mobondo militiamen and restore peace and security in the Lufuna territory. The situation described by Bernard Kosi highlights the urgent need for effective intervention by the competent authorities to guarantee the safety of the local populations and ensure an environment conducive to the development and prosperity of the region.
In conclusion, the precarious situation in which the Lufuna territory finds itself due to the presence of the Mobondo militiamen calls for rapid and coordinated action to put an end to this threat and restore peace to the inhabitants. It is time for local and national authorities to take the necessary steps to protect vulnerable populations in this region and work to build a peaceful and prosperous future for all.
