The Wazalendo militia and its illegal tax: the population of the Nyamilima area in danger

Posted on

The Nyamilima area, in the Rutshuru territory in North Kivu, faces a serious problem of racketeering carried out by the Wazalendo militia. This militia collects more than 20,000 USD monthly thanks to an illegal tax imposed on 50,000 to 80,000 people. Residents, already facing a precarious and unstable situation, are forced to pay 1,000 Congolese francs per month. This alarming situation is all the more critical with the absence of state authority in the region. The territorial administrator of Rutshuru is based in Kanyabayonga, thus abandoning the Nyamilima area in the hands of the militia. Faced with this reality, the Congolese government must act quickly to restore state authority and put an end to this illegal tax. The protection of residents and the fight against armed groups must also be a priority. In conclusion, it is essential to put an end to the Wazalendo militia and its illegal tax so that the people of Nyamilima can live in peace, security and dignity.
