The “NDOBO” security operation launched in Kinshasa has given rise to renewed hope among the population of the neighborhoods affected by the phenomenon of kuluna, these urban bandits who have spread terror and violence. Initiated by Deputy Prime Minister Jacquemain Shabani Lukoo, this vast operation aims to eradicate this scourge that has disrupted the peace of the inhabitants of the Congolese capital for too long.
Since December 7, 2024, law enforcement has tracked down more than 400 kuluna across the different neighborhoods of Kinshasa, setting up cordon missions under the supervision of the city’s police chief, Blaise Kilimbalimba. This determined action has made it possible to present these offenders before the authorities, so that they can answer for their actions before the courts.
The support of the population is essential in this fight against insecurity. By visiting the field, Jacquemain Shabani was able to reassure residents and explain the objectives of Operation NDOBO. Collaboration between law enforcement and the local community is a key element to ensure the success of this initiative and restore peace in the affected neighborhoods.
The preliminary results of the operation are encouraging, but vigilance remains essential. It is crucial to continue efforts to completely eradicate this phenomenon and ensure the safety of all citizens of Kinshasa. This endeavour cannot succeed without a comprehensive approach, including preventive measures, repressive actions and close cooperation between the authorities and the population.
Ultimately, Operation NDOBO represents an important step towards a safer and more peaceful Kinshasa. By tackling insecurity head-on and bringing the perpetrators to justice, the authorities are sending a strong message: the safety of citizens is a top priority. Now is the time to maintain this momentum and build a better future for all together.
In conclusion, Operation NDOBO is a concrete example of the authorities’ determination to fight crime and protect the population. Its success will depend on the commitment of everyone, from law enforcement to citizens, to make Kinshasa a safer and more welcoming city for all.
