The tragedy that occurred in Kwamouth has deeply shocked the nation. Twelve people, victims of arson perpetrated by Mobondo militiamen, tragically lost their lives. This sinister act of violence has plunged the community into deep sadness and legitimate anger. The images of the charred bodies found on the scene bear witness to the horror of this attack, and the burial of the victims in precarious conditions underlines the urgency of the situation.
MP Guy Musomo, elected representative of Kwamouth, sounds the alarm on the situation of the survivors and the wounded who are fighting for their lives at the general referral hospital. The lack of medicines and financial resources seriously compromises their medical care, jeopardizing their recovery. It is imperative that the competent authorities intervene quickly to ensure adequate care for these people traumatized by this unspeakable act of violence.
The brutal attack by militias near Aviation village has spread terror and devastation among the local population. Locking innocent people in houses before setting them on fire, the assailants have caused the death of several people and inflicted serious injuries on others. This blind and unjustifiable violence cannot go unpunished, and justice must be done to ensure that those responsible for these crimes are held accountable for their heinous acts.
The community of Kwamouth is going through a difficult time, but it remains united in the face of adversity. The calls for help launched by MP Musomo are an illustration of the solidarity and willingness to support each other that motivate the inhabitants of the area. It is essential that the relevant authorities take concrete measures to guarantee the safety and well-being of citizens, by putting an end to the impunity of armed groups and ensuring the protection of vulnerable populations.
In these dark times, it is essential to remain vigilant and united, not to give in to fear and hatred, but to defend the values of humanity and justice that must guide our actions. Kwamouth will recover from this tragedy thanks to the strength and resilience of its people, who refuse to be defeated by barbarity and who fight for a better, safer and more just future for all.
