**Fatshimetry: Latest developments in the clashes in Minembwe**
In a tragic episode of armed violence that continues to plague the Minembwe region, the Congolese armed forces, the FARDC, have clashed once again with the rebel coalition Twiraneho. The fighting has resumed after a brief lull, throwing the local population into a new state of instability and fear.
The echoes of heavy and light weapons have resonated across the highlands of Fizi territory, causing the massive displacement of Muliza residents, forced to flee to protect their lives and those of their families. The villages of Maturongo, Kinimbi, Biziba and Nyakishashu have been the scene of violent clashes, with the FARDC trying to hold the line against the rebel coalition led by self-proclaimed General Makanika.
The administrator of Fizi territory, Samy Kalonji Badibanga, confirmed the seriousness of the situation, highlighting the presence of the Gumino, Android and Twiraneho armed groups in various strategic locations in the region, such as Kalonge, Muliza, Rubemba and Bijabo. These rebel groups continue to sow terror among the local populations, forcing them to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere.
As the Congolese armed forces fiercely defend their positions, civilians find themselves once again trapped in a conflict that shows no sign of resolution. Whatever the outcome of this confrontation, it is essential that the international community intensify its efforts to end the violence and ensure the safety and protection of innocent civilians caught in the middle of this deadly conflict.
It is imperative that local and national authorities redouble their efforts to find peaceful and lasting solutions to these recurring conflicts, which continue to ravage the Minembwe region. Peace and stability are precious assets that deserve to be protected and preserved to allow local communities to rebuild their lives and thrive in a safe and secure environment.
In these dark and uncertain times, it is crucial not to lose hope and to continue working together for a better future, where peace and reconciliation will prevail over hatred and violence. The people of Minembwe deserve peace, justice and dignity, and it is our collective duty to stand with them in this essential quest for a better and more peaceful future.
As we await better days, let us remain united and determined to build a brighter future for all those affected by the conflicts and violence that are tearing our society apart. Peace is possible, and together, we can achieve it. Let us remain committed, remain united, and be the artisans of lasting and genuine peace for all.
