“Fatshimetrie: Increased surveillance during the end-of-year celebrations”
While preparations for the end-of-year celebrations are in full swing, the New Congolese Civil Society of the Basongora group, in the Lubero territory (North Kivu), draws our attention to the importance of vigilance during this period. Denis Kalenga, coordinator of this civic structure, calls on the population to remain vigilant in the face of security risks, particularly attacks by the ADF rebels who are rampant in the region.
The holiday season is often conducive to various population movements and a certain carelessness that can be exploited by armed groups to sow terror among civilians. Thus, it is crucial to avoid any form of distraction and to report any suspicious movement to the security authorities in order to prevent possible attacks.
This call for vigilance resonates particularly during this festive period when festivities and gatherings are numerous. It is essential to maintain constant surveillance and support each other to ensure the safety of all. Given the precarious security situation, it is imperative for the population of Basongora to remain alert and work closely with local security forces.
It is essential to keep in mind that everyone’s safety also depends on collective vigilance. By observing our neighbors, reporting any suspicious movements and remaining mobilized, we contribute to preserving peace and stability in our community.
In this period when solidarity and conviviality are in the spotlight, it is all the more crucial to remain united and demonstrate responsibility for our common security. The message of vigilance from the Nouvelle société civile congolaise is a valuable reminder of the importance of remaining on our guard, even in these moments of celebration.
In conclusion, vigilance is more important than ever during the end-of-year holidays. Let us remain attentive, united and ready to report any suspicious element to preserve our safety and that of our community. The security of all is everyone’s business, and it is by remaining united that we will be able to face the security challenges that lie ahead of us.”
