“Justice in the Central African Republic: Former President Bozizé sentenced to life imprisonment for rebellion and conspiracy”

The conviction of former Central African President François Bozizé to life imprisonment for “conspiracy” and “rebellion” marks a turning point in the search for justice in the Central African Republic. In exile since 2013, Bozizé is accused of playing a role in the country’s ongoing civil war. This conviction, pronounced in absentia, sends a strong message about the authorities’ desire to pursue those responsible for crimes committed during the conflict. However, the situation in the Central African Republic remains precarious, with persistent violence in certain regions. It is therefore crucial to continue efforts to end the conflict and promote national reconciliation.

Transporters’ strike in Matadi: port congestion and rising prices, a worrying situation

Posted on

The port of Matadi, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, is congested due to the road transport strike which began this week. Heavy goods vehicles no longer circulate normally, which creates logistical congestion and an increase in the prices of manufactured products. Transporters are demanding better working conditions and a review of taxes which, according to them, harm a fair wage policy. This situation could potentially paralyze trade between Kongo-Central and Kinshasa, and extend to other provinces of the country if no agreement is reached. Constructive dialogue is necessary to resolve this crisis and find lasting solutions.

MONUSCO is renovating the kitchen at Bukavu prison to improve the living conditions of inmates.

Posted on

The central prison of Bukavu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, recently benefited from the renovation of the kitchen in the women’s section. Previously, inmates had to prepare their meals individually, which was problematic for low-income women. The establishment of a common kitchen will improve the organization of meals and promote solidarity between inmates. In addition to cooking, humanization materials were distributed, including pots, basins, buckets, dishes, cups and sanitary napkins. This renovation was initiated by the MONUSCO Prison Administration Support Unit, in response to the difficult conditions of detention. Although this renovation is a positive step forward, other needs remain and require continued support from MONUSCO. The rehabilitation of the kitchen therefore contributes to improving the conditions of detention of women while promoting solidarity and mutual aid.
