Posted on

On September 23, 2023, the town of Beledweyne in Somalia was hit by a suicide attack which caused the deaths of several people and destroyed buildings. Although the attack has not yet been claimed, it once again raises the question of security in the country and the continuing threat from terrorist groups.

This attack comes against a backdrop of the fight against Islamist Shebab militants, led by the Somali government and supported by African Union forces and American airstrikes.

This attack recalls the complexity of the security situation in Somalia and underlines the urgency of action to combat terrorism. The victims must be honored and those responsible brought to justice, while the international community must continue to support the Somali government in its efforts to ensure security and stability in the country.

“The Wazalendo militia exploits the population of Nyamilima: it is time to act against this injustice!”

Posted on

The Wazalendo militia has been imposing an illegal tax in the Nyamilima region, North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, for over a year. Every month, the population is forced to pay a sum of 1,000 Congolese francs to the militia. The absence of state authority in the region allows the militia to collect more than 20,000 US dollars monthly. Residents are calling on the government to restore order and security. Travelers are also forced to pay this tax, showing the control exercised by the militia over the region. It is crucial that the government takes measures to restore peace and security, as well as to protect the population and end exploitation by the armed militia. The media and bloggers play an important role in raising awareness and denouncing these human rights violations. It is necessary to continue to bring this matter to the attention of the public and the relevant authorities in order to act and protect the residents of Nyamilima.
