**Title: Images of displaced people in Goma, DRC: MONUSCO condemns the bombing of displaced people’s sites**
The United Nations Mission in Congo recently published a strong statement condemning the bombing of displaced people’s sites in Goma, capital of the North Kivu province. This tragic event has sparked unprecedented indignation and MONUSCO calls on the Congolese authorities to act firmly so that those responsible for this attack are brought to justice.
The special representative of MONUSCO, Bintou Keita, expressed her deep disapproval of this heinous act, describing the attack as a flagrant violation of human rights. She urged the Congolese authorities to take all necessary measures to ensure that those responsible for this tragedy are held accountable for their actions before the courts.
Beyond condemning this unspeakable act, MONUSCO reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to supporting efforts aimed at restoring peace, security and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This commitment is essential to ensure a peaceful and prosperous future for all people in the country, especially vulnerable and displaced populations.
Furthermore, MONUSCO is launching an urgent appeal to armed groups operating in the region to immediately cease all hostilities against civilians. It is imperative to guarantee the protection of civilian populations and to respect the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.
In these dark times, where violence and atrocities continue to threaten the lives of thousands of innocent people, it is essential that the international community remains mobilized to support efforts to consolidate peace and security in the DRC. There is an urgent need to end impunity and ensure that those responsible for crimes against humanity are brought to justice.
In conclusion, MONUSCO’s condemnation of the bombing of displaced people’s sites in Goma recalls the crucial importance of the protection of civilians and respect for human rights in conflict zones. It is our collective duty to ensure that such barbaric acts do not go unpunished and that justice is served for the victims of these atrocities.
