The province of Mai-Ndombe, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is hit by a major economic crisis in the territory of Kwamouth. Communal conflicts between the Teke and Yaka groups have led to a shortage of agricultural products and an increase in prices. The inhabitants are increasingly suffering from this situation, as agricultural production is low due to insecurity and the massive displacement of the population. This crisis also has an impact on the capital Kinshasa, which depends on Kwamouth for its supply of agricultural products. The provincial deputy calls for targeted military operations to restore peace, but lasting measures are needed to revive the region’s economy. The situation is critical and requires urgent action.
