In this article titled “Shocking Assassination of Colonel Sébastien Kabulo: Growing Distrust of Urban Crime in Haut-Katanga Province”, we uncover the brutal murder of Colonel Sébastien Kabulo, brother of the Minister of Sports and Recreation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 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.

The city of Goma, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is facing a disturbing wave of popular condemnation. Fifteen people have been victims of this brutal punishment so far this year. A workshop was organized by the NGO COMOAD to sensitize civil society, citizens’ movements and the police to this problem. The ignorance of the population as to the consequences of mob justice and the inefficiency of the competent services have been identified as causes of this phenomenon. The slowness and inaction of the police, as well as corruption within the judicial system, have also been blamed. The participants suggested equipping the police with adequate logistical means and sanctioning corrupt magistrates to fight mob vindictiveness. The population is also called upon to play an active role in denouncing reprehensible acts. To put an end to this dangerous practice, it is essential that the authorities, civil society and the population work together. A change of mentality based on respect for human rights and the rule of law is necessary to build a peaceful and prosperous community in Goma.
