#RDC 🇨🇩: l’économie des civils prise pour cible, le drame silencieux des éleveurs dans l’Est du pays
Au Nord-Kivu dans les Territoires de Rutshuru, Masisi Nyiragongo et au Sud-Kivu, où une grande partie de la population dépend de l’élevage et de l'agriculture, la perte de vaches ne représente pas seulement une perte économique immédiate, elle touche aussi la sécurité alimentaire, les revenus familiaux, l’accès à l’éducation (souvent financée par ces activités) et la stabilité sociale.
À long terme, cela peut accentuer la pauvreté, provoquer des déplacements de population et alimenter encore davantage des tensions.
Il y a deux ans, un groupe d'hommes armés a abattu dans le territoire de Rutshuru plusieurs vaches tirant sans contrôle plusieurs balles.
Sur le plan du droit international humanitaire, les biens indispensables à la survie des civils y compris le bétail ne devraient pas être pris pour cible. Lorsque cela se produit, cela contribue à fragiliser des communautés déjà vulnérables.
Comme pour les civils, la base économique de la population devrait également bénéficier de la protection.
On Feb 7th, the Banyamulenge organized protests to demand a reassessment of the American decision directing AFC M23 to withdraw from Uvira. This decision has placed the Banyamulenge community in jeopardy. Joining us for further insights is Dr.

When Tshisekedi's drones bomb and kill in Minembwe, there is absolute silence, even at the African Union.
1. Since this morning, February 8, 2026, starting at 3:30 a.m., several drones belonging to the governments of Tshisekedi and Ndayishimiye have bombed several villages in Minembwe, killing and wounding the inhabitants, all Banyamulenge, in their sleep. They awoke to the bombs. These drones returned several times to bomb throughout the day and this evening. Their bombs, along with those from other long-range guns, caused casualties in several villages, including Bicumbi, Mutunda, Rubemba, and Karongi.
2. Yesterday, Saturday, February 7, 2026, they bombed Rugezi, Rwitsankuku, and;
3. On Friday, February 6, 2026, the hills of Baruta were bombed at 8:30 p.m.
4. On Sunday, February 1, eight drones bombed several localities in Minembwe;
5. On January 31, 12 drones bombed Point Zero, Rwitsankuku, and Rugezi;
6. On January 30, 5 drones bombed several villages;
7. The same occurred on January 24 and January 22, 2026, when the villages of Mukoko, Gakenke, Rugezi, Biziba, and Runundu/Madegu were pulverized by bombs fired by the FARDC and the FDNB.
I denounce once again this murderous campaign against Minembwe and the Banyamulenge, perpetrated by Mr. Tshisekedi and his government in Kinshasa, along with his partner in crime, Mr. Evariste Ndayishimiye, and the Burundian regime. You will be held accountable for the blood of these innocent people, one way or another.
I am addressing myself in particular to the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, to whom I always send copies of my posts denouncing these attacks. You are constantly aware of the daily bombings and victims in Minembwe, Masisi, and Rutshuru, yet you have chosen to remain silent. The only time the African Community reacted by sending a message to Tshisekedi to stop killing civilians—a war crime—you had the audacity to issue a lengthy statement denouncing it and labeling it a terrorist act. If this is all the African Union has to offer, then have pity on Africa.
It would be better to be impartial, to denounce the crimes of these two governments, to condemn the use of mercenaries, which violates the principles and norms of the AU, or else to refrain from lecturing us when the tables turn. @realDonaldTrump , @StateDept , @Masboulos@_AfricanUnion, @ymahmoudali, @antonioguterres, @williamsrutoke, @PaulKagame, @edmnangagwa, @KagutaMuseveni, @SuluhuSamia, @FelixTshis13, @GeneralNeva, @MofaQatar_EN, @jumuiya, @SADC_News, @CyrilRamaphosa, @MONUSCO,@PresidenceTg, @FEGnassingbe, @FelixTshis13 , @kajakallas, @eucopresident, @volker_turk, @HuangXia16, @prevotmaxime, @kikayabinkarubi.
