### Land conflict in Kabambare: towards a necessary reconciliation
The recent land conflict between the villages Lumamba and Kavundaganya, in the territory of Kabambare, highlights social fractures and the challenges of governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The violence has left seven seriously injured and revealed acts of sexual violence, illustrating a trauma that goes beyond physical injuries. The Minister of the Interior, Lawamo Selemani, promised that the culprits would be brought to justice, but the distrust of the uninformed promises remains. The deputy Emedi Amuri proposes to favor a “customary solution”, stressing the importance of local dialogue in the resolution of land conflicts. In a context where more than 70 % of conflicts in the DRC are linked to the land, it is vital to reform resources management practices. Kabambare’s tragic events must be a catalyst to act in favor of peaceful coexistence, where land rights and justice are not empty words, but foundations for a common future.
