Recent news in Goma, in the province of North Kivu, reported an unprecedented decision taken by Governor Peter Cirimwami: the ban on the circulation of vehicles with tinted windows. This measure, deemed necessary to strengthen the security of local residents, is part of efforts to counter any threat of insecurity in the region.
The governor made it clear that these vehicles equipped with tinted windows represent a risk for the population and must be eliminated from circulation. A period of 72 hours was granted to the owners of these vehicles to comply with this new regulation, thus demonstrating the determination of the authorities to ensure the safety of the citizens of Goma.
This decision is also part of a broader context of vigilance against threats emanating from the M23 rebel group, supported by Rwanda, which seeks to destabilize the region and take control of the city of Goma. By taking preventive measures such as banning vehicles with tinted windows, Governor Cirimwami is sending a strong message of his determination to protect the population and prevent any attempted attack.
This preventive action, although restrictive for certain vehicle owners, is essential to ensure the safety and tranquility of the inhabitants of Goma. In short, this ban aims to strengthen the security measures already in place and to deter any form of incursion or harmful activity in the region.
Thus, by complying with this new directive, drivers actively contribute to the preservation of security and stability in the city, while participating in the fight against any attempt at destabilization.
