Reconquest of parts under rebel occupation by the army in North Kivu: a call for unity and action
In the North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the security situation is worrying. Parts of the territory are currently under the occupation of rebel groups, causing multiple abuses and suffering for the local population. Faced with this situation, the acting governor of North Kivu, Peter Cirimwami, launched an appeal to the population to support the army in its reconquest mission.
During a recent meeting with representatives of the province’s youth, the governor stressed the importance of the commitment of each citizen in this fight. He recalled that supporting the army in its reconquest operations was a duty for everyone. Indeed, the security and stability of the region depend on it.
The young people present at the meeting also expressed their concerns and recommendations. They asked the governor to deploy soldiers in areas abandoned by the rebels, particularly in the Binza and Busanza groups, north of Rutshuru. These regions are subject to abuses by Wazalendo militiamen, who impose illegal barriers and create a reign of terror among the population.
The situation is even more critical in Western Oicha, where people continue to lose their lives and many young people feel abandoned. The groups of Binza, Kihondo and part of Kanyabayonga, in the Rutshuru territory, are particularly affected. The young people therefore asked the governor to intervene by deploying soldiers, like the successful intervention in Mushaki.
This situation is a source of concern and requires urgent action. It is essential that provincial authorities and the army work together to reconquer parts under rebel occupation and restore peace and security to the region. The population, particularly the youth, must be supported and encouraged to actively participate in these reconquest efforts.
The governor’s appeal to the people of North Kivu is a reminder of the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of adversity. It is together, hand in hand, that residents can hope for a better future, free from the oppression of armed groups. Now is the time to take action, support the army and reconquer these territories for the well-being of all.
In conclusion, the reconquest of parts under rebel occupation by the army in North Kivu is a crucial issue for the security and stability of the region. The governor’s appeal to the population to support this mission is an opportunity to recall the importance of unity and the mobilization of all. It is imperative that the authorities take concrete measures to deploy soldiers in the most affected areas and protect the population. With everyone’s commitment, it is possible to restore peace and strengthen security in this region plagued by violence and abuses.
