The phenomenon of street children in Kinshasa, called “Shegués”, has become a worrying reality for the inhabitants of this city. Aged 6 to 15, these young people wander in groups along the Boulevard du 30 juin begging and often committing thefts and assaults. Recently, a violent robbery provoked a reaction from the population, who captured the culprits and handed them over to the police. However, this highlights the lack of care for these vulnerable children. Measures must be taken to protect them and reintegrate them into society, including through rehabilitation, education and vocational training programmes. Sensitizing the population, mobilizing the authorities and non-governmental organizations are essential to find lasting solutions. It is time to fight against insecurity and protect the most vulnerable children. By working together, we can offer a better future to these children who are victims of social inequalities and help them to contribute positively to their community. Effective policies and programs are needed to end this scourge and provide a better future for street children in Kinshasa and throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo. The responsibility is collective and it is time to act.

This article highlights the alarming problem of street children, also called “Shegués”, in Kinshasa. These youths operate in groups and engage in criminal activities such as theft and assault, spreading terror among the population. Tracking down these children has become a form of mob justice, but cannot be considered a lasting solution. The causes of this massive presence are poverty, family disintegration and limited access to education and health care. To remedy this situation, awareness-raising programs, access to education and social services, as well as social reintegration programs are necessary. By acting on these root causes, it is possible to transform the lives of these children and offer them new opportunities for a better future.

The phenomenon of the Shegués, these street children in Kinshasa, has become a growing threat to the population, due to their criminal activities. However, the reaction of the population, which sometimes consists of hunting them down and lynching them, raises questions as to the methods employed. Initiatives are put in place to combat this problem, such as reintegration and care programs for the Shegués. It is crucial to find more durable and human rights-respecting solutions to solve this problem and give the Shegués a chance to reintegrate into society.

The streets of Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, are invaded by street children known as “Shegués”. These children, aged between 10 and 14, gather in gangs and take refuge in the city’s sewers, using these dark and unsanitary places as lairs to commit misdeeds. The population, exasperated by the growing insecurity, spontaneously mobilized, tracking down and arresting some of these children in the sewers. However, this anger degenerated into violence and the “Shegués” were victims of brutality before the arrival of the police. There is an urgent need to find lasting solutions to remedy this situation, by strengthening street safety, carrying out awareness-raising actions and offering social reintegration opportunities for these vulnerable children. It is necessary that all the actors concerned mobilize to guarantee the safety and well-being of these children, who deserve a chance to get out of it and build a better future.
