  1. “The mandate of MONUSCO should be strengthened to provide the Mission with the necessary legal means and equipment to protect civilians, vulnerable people and their property in areas where there are attacks and recurrent Violence. Populations that are victims of insecurity and have been forced to flee their land urgentlu need humanitarian assistance. It is also essential to establish an economic development plan for the Democratic Republic of the Congo following the elections.”

  2. “The Congolese bishops are convinced that only credible, transparent and peaceful elections can give the Congolese people legitimate leaders who are capable of addressing the multifaceted crisis that is ravaging the country. Calls by the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) for the full implementation of the provisions of the New Year's agreement, which is a prerequisite for the holding of smooth elections, and compliance with the key dates of the electoral calendar should be the priorities of the day. Any complacency on those issues would be a time bomb, since elections that bring us back to square one would be a waste that the international community must avoid.”

  3. “Furthermore, the sociopolitical and electoral crisis that arose from the failure to hold presidential and legislative elections in accordance with the time frame set out in the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the New Year agreement is creating discontent and a vacuum of State authority in certain areas of the country, owing to the lack of legitimacy of the main institutions. With regard to the expectations of the Congolese people, in the light of the foregoing and in order to prevent the tragic humanitarian situation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from becoming worse, it is essential for the United Nations to become further involved and urge the Democratic Republic of the Congo to hold proper elections.”

  4. “The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the African country with the most internally displaced persons, more than 60 per cent of whom are children and 55 per cent of whom reside in just three provinces - 26 per cent in North Kivu, 15 per cent in South Kivu, and 14 per cent in Tanganyika. However, as of 31 December 2017, there were 623,059 Congolese refugees in the neighbouring countries of Angola, Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia. The causes of that tragedy are essentially the unstable and precarious security situation due to the incursions of suspected ADF; the activities of armed groups; interethnic clashes, in particular among the Twa and Bantu communities; and the manipulation of certain negative forces that are interested in the destabilizing our beloved country, as is the case in Ituri.”

  5. “In the former Equateur province, the presence of Central African refugees in the north-east of the province continues to weigh on the host communities, exacerbating the precarious situation of the local populations. Four camps, set up in North Ubangi and South Ubangi provinces by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, provide shelter to more than 100,000 Central African refugees. Today in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there are 4.49 million internally displaced persons, according to statistics published by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in late December 2017.”

  6. “New waves of internally displaced persons estimated at 105 displaced households, or 525 people, have reached Kalemie since the beginning of February. The security context in North Kivu has been dominated by repeated attacks by elements suspected to be armed groups of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which has led to the deaths of civilians in the Beni territory. Those repeated incursions of armed men have caused serious problems for the protection of civilians. In South Kivu, the security situation remains very volatile and humanitarian access is precarious owing primarily to the activities of armed groups and militias, including Raia Mutomboki, and clashes with the Forces armees de la Republique democratique du Congo. Several displaced people have fled to the Shabunda territory since February in search of security.”

  7. “In Kasai, approximately 1.4 million people, more than half of whom are children, have been forced by the Kamwina Nsapu militias to flee their villages and to wander the roads. Many families who have decided to return home following the massacres have been traumatized by the sight of their pillaged villages, destroyed houses and ravaged fields, with nothing left to eat. In Tanganyika, the humanitarian situation continues to be dominated by the massive displacement of people following the intercommunal conflict between the Twa pygmies and the Bantus in the Manono and Kabalo territories. The number of displaced people in that part of the country is approximately 200,000. That violence has also affected livelihoods.”

  8. “It is certainly not an inter-ethnic conflict, as we sometimes hear in the media. More than 100 people have been killed and more than 2,000 houses and huts have been burned. Public infrastructure has not been spared; some 100 schools and 5 hospitals, not to mention the Catholic parish of Lita, have been ransacked. Approximately 338,000 displaced people have been registered. The risk of an outbreak of epidemics due to insufficient sanitary infrastructure is to be feared, especially with the return of rain to the area. The humanitarian needs are enormous and, to date, the response capacity of humanitarian actors has been limited, inter alia, by the difficulties faced by humanitarian workers in reaching the areas of violence.”

  9. “The humanitarian tragedy taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is deteriorating to such a degree that its people wonder if the situation is even being addressed by the international community and by the United Nations. I will provide a brief summary of the humanitarian and security situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, its root causes and the expectations of the Congolese people. The humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is marked by a surge in violence in Ituri province and a deterioration in North Kivu, South Kivu, Maniema, Tanganyika and Kasai. Since 17 December 2017, the situation in Ituri has been marked by increased violence that quickly spread to several areas and targeted the Hema community. The identity and motivations of the attackers are not known.”
