There are massive displacements and we are already recording deaths and cases of rape … the emergency is imperative … we want peace yes and the elimination of all these armed groups but any war always has humanitarian consequences. We ask the State and all its partners like MONUSCO, the International Committee of the Red Cross OCHA and many others who intervene in the support of vulnerable people to come to the aid of these people ”, he pleads .
