In the territory of Kwamouth, Mai-Ndombe, a new tragedy has struck the local population with the recent assassination of a farmer by Mobondo militiamen in Mukele village. This farmer, named Fidèle, was taken hostage while he was going to the field to collect his agricultural products before returning home.
The inhabitants of the town of Kwamouth are under constant threat from these Mobondo militiamen, who do not hesitate to resort to violence to achieve their ends. The head of Kwamouth’s social affairs and humanitarian actions department, Mundaba Ngandebe, expressed concern about the security situation in the region and called for a strengthening of security arrangements.
The increase in insecurity in Kwamouth has been observed recently, with clashes between different villages and the intervention of the Congolese armed forces to neutralize some of the militiamen. However, the danger persists, and the local population lives in constant fear of reprisals.
It is crucial that the authorities act quickly to guarantee the safety of the residents of Kwamouth and put an end to the abuses of the militiamen. The population deserves to live in peace and security in their own communities, far from the violence and terror imposed by these armed groups.
This new tragedy serves as a reminder once again of the need for concerted action to restore peace and security in the Mai-Ndombe region, so that residents can go about their business in complete tranquility.
