**The terror of the Mobondo militiamen in Kongo-Central: a persistent scourge**
The province of Kongo-Central is the scene of unprecedented violence, perpetrated by the Mobondo militiamen who continue to sow terror in the territories of Madimba and Kimvula. The inhabitants of these regions live in constant fear, confronted with violent and sudden incursions by these lawless militiamen.
The damning report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry, presented by provincial deputy Cerlain Ghonda, highlights the extent of the abuses committed by the Mobondo. The latter engage in barbaric acts, ranging from murder to sexual violence, pillaging and extortion. The inhabitants are at the mercy of these criminals, powerless in the face of this unprecedented violence.
The absence of a State presence in these territories plagued by anarchy favors the impunity of the militiamen. The already limited police force is struggling to contain the violence and ensure the safety of local populations. The impassable roads and the isolation of these regions make it even more difficult for the competent authorities to intervene.
Deputy Cerlain Ghonda also highlights the complicity of some local youth with the Mobondo, thus facilitating their exactions by providing information on the most vulnerable inhabitants. These young people serve as relays for the militiamen, thus creating a climate of terror and generalized insecurity.
Faced with this alarming situation, it is urgent that concrete measures be taken to put an end to the tyranny of the Mobondo militiamen. It is essential to strengthen the presence of law enforcement, improve the accessibility of infrastructure and restore the authority of the State in these distressed areas.
In conclusion, the situation in Kongo-Central is alarming and requires an urgent and effective response. Local populations should not live in fear and insecurity caused by the actions of the Mobondo militiamen. It is time for justice and security to be restored, so that peace and stability can finally reign in this wounded region.
