At the heart of recent news, the province of Maniema is the scene of violent clashes between the Mai-Mai Yakutumba militia and the Suzuki self-defense group. These clashes, which occurred in the territory of Kabambare, caused human losses and a wave of terror among the local population. In this delicate context, the elected officials of the region express deep concern and call on the central government to quickly conduct an investigation mission to establish responsibilities.
The tragic events that occurred in Luiko, where five people lost their lives during the attack by the Mai-Mai Yakutumba on December 11, have deeply shaken the local community. The Vice-President of the Provincial Assembly of Maniema, Théophile Buleli, stressed the urgency of the situation, describing a scene of terror and massive displacement of the population.
In the face of this crisis, elected officials call for unity and social cohesion, warning against the spread of messages of hate and division on social media. They stress the need to provide assistance to displaced people, who have left everything behind to escape the violence.
The recommendation to the central government to conduct a thorough investigation on the ground to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable is essential to restore justice and restore peace in the region. In parallel, an appeal is made to humanitarian NGOs and people of goodwill to support the displaced and help them rebuild their lives.
In this context of recurring crises and violence, it is imperative to promote inclusive dialogue and find lasting solutions to end the instability and suffering of local populations. The situation in Maniema is a poignant reminder of the fragility of peace and the need to work together to build a safer and more stable future for all.
