In the heart of the majestic mountains of North Kivu, the clash of weapons continues to resonate, leaving a bloody mark on the Lubero territory. The FARDC and the M23 rebels are engaged in a fierce battle, where each gunshot announces a merciless showdown. On December 5, between the villages of Mighobwe and Matembe, the two forces clashed in a macabre ballet, symbolizing a merciless war.
Disturbing accounts from civil society report scenes of unbearable violence, with detonations of heavy weapons echoing along National Road No. 2. The villages are plunged into an endless nightmare, with fear and uncertainty hanging over every roof.
In Kaghote, a peaceful village near Kirumba, a bomb hit the ground without causing any material damage, but the threat remains present, ready to ravage the peace of the inhabitants. Confusion reigns, the front lines are drawn in a whirlwind of smoke and blood.
In the shadow of these battles, broken lives are hidden, families torn apart by violence and terror. North Kivu, the scene of incessant drama, has become the symbol of a region ravaged by armed conflict, where hope seems to be consumed in the flames of war.
Faced with this human tragedy, the international community must act, to stand up against injustice and barbarity. Every life counts, every cry of anguish deserves to be heard. It is time to turn the dark page of the history of North Kivu, to offer a brighter future to those who have lost everything in the torments of war.
In these dark hours, a glimmer of hope remains, fragile but tenacious. It is time to reach out to those who are suffering, to rebuild what has been destroyed. Because beyond the fighting and the conflicts, it is the dignity of an entire people that is at stake, awaiting a surge of solidarity and peace.
