At night, crime and fear Democratic Republic Republic of Congo

Bukavu: Congoless city every morning BuckonNow under the control of Rwanda-supported M23 movementCounts his dead. Lying on the steep roads of the capital, corpses are discovered in the morning South Kivu provinceWhich is in the hands of the anti-government group since mid-February, when it was after launching an electric aggressive.
After the M23 fighters and their rasan colleagues, the congratulations administration left the region, which seized the city in the Unstable Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, almost no resistance. M23 had already taken control of another major city in Eastern DRC, Goma in late January.
But the armed group has struggled to hold a huge area that it has captured. There, no one really knows the circumstances around the killings of the night, or can identify their criminals with certainty.
Under the M23 control, the states no longer have courts or jails and there is hardly any police. Two million or such residents of Buwavu can enjoy some levels of normal during the day – but when it becomes dark, the roads become empty.
Jean Bosco, a resident of Bukevu, said, “We live all night. Hatters can break in our homes at any moment.” Congress troops escaped from the city, leaving their weapons behind, which were then picked up by criminals.
Thousands of supporters-Kinshsa “Wazlando” (“Patriots” in Swahili) members of the militia, who are known for their accurate and lack of military discipline, are hiding in the areas around the city.
They have joined hundreds of criminals released from prison. In small groups, they rob and break into homes.
M23- Lack of cash shortage in government areas, where banks are closed months ago and are no longer supplied by officials in the capital Kinshasa, also feeds criminality.
‘Comprehensive fear’:
Bosco said, “Last week, they broke into my sister’s place, they hit her in the head to put her hand on their belongings.” “One night does not go without talking about being attacked in homes,” Amos Bisimwa said, who represent civil society groups in Bukevu, talks of “comprehensive fear”.
Residents tried to organize themselves the best, they can, to lighten the roads and buy CT to warn neighbors in the event of lamps. The lynching of suspected criminals, sometimes covered for revenge murders, are widely documented by human and civil society groups.
The United Nations has also accused the M23 movement of extraordinary murders of alleged criminals, which are sometimes under 18 years of age. According to safety sources, M23 has been posted on land between 6,000 and 10,000 fighters and currently depends on millions of people living in areas who control it to report criminals.
But it withstands a certain level of reluctance, with some fear and others hold a form of passive resistance. This is especially the case in cities, which are “more political than rural areas”, a researcher from the International Crisis Group, said Oosfor Sematamba.
After taking Goma, “M23 suffered a dilemma: stay in Goma to strengthen your positions and display your ability to run (these areas), or take advantage of the lack of resistance to pursue the Kangoli army, as far as possible and force Kinshasa to interact,” Sametumba said. By taking Bukavu and expanding his territory, he said, “M3 does not find itself everywhere else”.
‘Tired of continuous wars’:
The hills around Bukavu and Goma have turned into a refuge for thousands of “Wazlando” militia members, who land in cities to meet the acts of guerrilla warfare and loot houses. On 11 April, the members of the militia launched a night attack on Goma, but were rapidly pushed back by M3, with a strong fire in many neighborhoods.
Two days later, he launched an avatar in Kavumu district of Bukavu, where the airport is located. M23 spokesman Lawrence Kanuka later invited the media to the airport’s Termac, where he said the group was “the best to secure the population in 24 hours a day”, while admitting that “Wazlando” was committing “crime” every day.
In the city of Kavumu, a young man said on the condition of anonymity, saying that he was “tired of continuous wars”. “If Wazlando shows, we will appreciate them. If the M23 rebel appears, we will do the same,” he said.
The M23 group, which expects to get popular support through good governance, is also aimed at beef to its ranks. Thousands of congregations and military are receiving technical and ideological training in M33. Some people were already deployed over the weekend, an M33 representative told AFP.
