**Dark reality: the atrocities perpetrated by Mobondo militiamen in Kwamouth**
Violence has once again struck the Kwamouth region, plunging its residents into constant terror. Sunday July 28, a nightmarish scene unfolded at the Mpwebe farm, a few kilometers from the Camp Banku village, leaving three children, a woman and a young man lifeless in its wake.
The details of the attack are chilling. Mobondo militiamen, armed to the teeth, stormed the farm, sowing death and desolation. The bodies of the victims still litter the ground, silent witnesses to the horror that befell them. MP Guy Musomo, elected from Kwamouth, echoed this tragedy, strongly calling on the authorities to act without delay to put an end to this unbearable violence.
Terror is unfortunately not new in this ravaged region. After a brief lull, violence resurfaced suddenly in July, leaving behind a grim toll. Deadly clashes took place, pitting law enforcement against armed militias, to the great dismay of the innocent populations caught in a stranglehold.
The appeal of MP Guy Musomo resonates like a final plea, that of populations at the end of their strength, prey to unspeakable fear. The inhabitants of Kwamouth, distraught and bruised, are crying out for close protection, a lifeline in this chaos which is gradually engulfing them.
It is imperative that the central government responds to this urgent call, by deploying armed and security forces to restore peace and stability to the Kwamouth region. The security of citizens must be an absolute priority, in order to put an end to the abuses of the militia and guarantee a more serene future for the damaged populations.
The time is no longer for indifference or passivity. It is time to take concrete and effective measures to put an end to this vicious spiral of violence which threatens to further devastate an already battered region. Unity and solidarity must prevail, so that light can finally pierce the darkness that envelops Kwamouth and its innocent inhabitants.
