Fatshimetrie – Exclusive images of the fighting in Kaseghe, North Kivu
The situation in North Kivu remains tense and unstable, as clashes continue to rage between the M23 rebels and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC). For the seventh consecutive day, the village of Kaseghe has been the scene of heavy fighting, endangering the lives of local populations and threatening the stability of the region.
According to local civil society sources, the clashes in Kaseghe follow a relative lull observed in other surrounding villages. However, the situation remains volatile, with the Rwandan-backed M23 attempting to bypass FARDC positions, in violation of the ceasefire in force. Reagan Mbuyi Kalonji, spokesperson for the army’s Northern Front operations, says the FARDC is only defending its positions and responding to M23 attacks.
Faced with this escalation of violence, local populations live in fear and uncertainty. Exclusive images of the fighting in Kaseghe show us the brutality of the war, with civilians caught in the middle of this deadly conflict. The material damage is significant, homes destroyed and fields ravaged.
In this tragic context, it is essential that the international community intervene to put an end to these clashes. It is urgent to find a peaceful and lasting solution to this conflict, which only causes more suffering and desolation.
In conclusion, the images of the fighting in Kaseghe remind us of the absolute necessity of finding diplomatic solutions to end this devastating conflict. Local populations deserve to live in peace and security, far from the horrors of war. It is time to act for peace and stability in the region.
