Some elected officials, members of the caucus of national deputies from the province of North Kivu, have resolved to deploy their “Civilian Staff” in the city of Beni with the objective of monitoring the progression of military operations against the ADF rebels, who have been responsible for numerous atrocities in the region.
In a statement released on Friday, 27 December, Muhindo Vahumawa Paul, the elected national deputy of Beni and president of the deputy caucus of North Kivu, outlined the rationale behind the recent deployment of civilian deputies in Beni. He emphasised that the objective of this initiative is to provide logistical and operational support to the troops of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC), the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO), and the police troops engaged in the hunt for armed groups in the province. Additionally, he highlighted the specific focus on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and militia Mayi-Mayi in Beni.
It is our intention to provide support to the FARDC, MONUSCO and police units in their operations on the front line. “We will collaborate with them to closely monitor the situation,” he stated.
Furthermore, it is important to note that: “We are enduring a period of immense suffering. Our voices are being heard across the globe, and it is imperative that we take all necessary measures to put an end to the prolonged and systematic violence against civilians in the Beni region, which has resulted in numerous deaths and disappearances.”
However, he proceeds to state that the population must furnish information regarding the suspects to the FARDC elements and the caucus so that they can be swiftly prosecuted and apprehended.
Since the commencement of ADF tracking operations last October, tangible results have been observed on the front line, notably the capture of several strategic rebel strongholds and the apprehension of over 500 rebels.
