Prime Minister Judith Suminwa recently visited Bunia to assess the ongoing state of siege in the Ituri and North Kivu provinces. This highly strategic and complex mission aimed to gather the impressions and recommendations of various stakeholders regarding the measures taken to restore security and stability in these troubled regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
