This heinous act raises growing concern about the urban crime that is rampant in the province of Haut-Katanga.

The wave of crime that has been hitting the region for several weeks has aroused the indignation and concern of the population and the authorities. Robberies, assaults and even assassinations have become commonplace, endangering the safety of the inhabitants.

The precarious socio-economic situation of the region is one of the factors explaining this rise in crime. Unemployment, poverty and inequality push some individuals to turn to crime to survive. In addition, the inadequacy of security measures and the inefficiency of law enforcement also contribute to this escalation.

Faced with this alarming situation, it is essential that local and national authorities and civil society organizations unite their efforts to fight crime. Concrete measures must be taken, such as strengthening security arrangements, training law enforcement and improving working conditions. There is also a need to address the root causes of crime by strengthening socio-economic development programs.

The assassination of Colonel Sébastien Kabulo is a sad illustration of the threat posed by urban crime in the province of Haut-Katanga. It is imperative to restore the confidence of the population and guarantee its security by ending impunity and protecting citizens against all forms of violence and insecurity.
