MBUSA KANYAMANDA Sylvain talks about terrorist actions by attackers who targeted this site while the city was calm. The mayor of Butembo indicates that the perpetrators of the fire have links with militiamen. However, the mayor of Butembo welcomes the fact that the police have displayed resistance that has allowed some patients to escape.
"It's not a small question that will have to be overlooked. There was still resistance. Our elements did something. They protected the generators, they also protected the sites of care of the patients. The patients escaped from this center there to avoid bullets. There are those who are beginning to identify themselves, they are beginning to call coordination. They are civilians supervised with May-May. Because if they were civilians, they would not have guns. There are even those who have bulletproof vests, "said the mayor.
According to him, the attackers, some of whom will be arrested soon, are high-risk people, since they would have reached dangerous sites in CTE Butembo. About the fate of the sick, the latter were transferred to the transit center of Katwa pending the reconstruction work that begins this Friday, promises the mayor.
No organization has yet made official mention of its withdrawal
With regard to the announced withdrawal of M?decins Sans Fronti?res experts who co-managed the Ebola treatment centers in Butembo, the mayor replied that no organization has yet made any official mention of its withdrawal.
"The partners are here. There are some who have done 1 month, 2 months, 6 months. There are some who can not handle stress related to these attacks. For them, you can not deny them the right to rest, to be able to reconstitute themselves. But no one has yet declared the departure, because those who are gone, it is surely for a small leave pending that they reconstitute themselves and return. On site, their office remains functional, "he said.
As a reminder, CTE Butembo was attacked on Wednesday night at ITAV Butembo. The mayor deplores the death of a police officer during the exchange of fire that took place between law enforcement officials and attackers.

BENI: the inter-medical staff of Vuhovi health zone raises its dry strike
The intersyndical of the health care staff of the Vuhovi health zone has just ended its dry strike that began on February 19, 2019. The option was lifted this Thursday, February 28, 2019 during the evaluative meeting that health professionals of said health zone held in a premises of the Vuhovi Reference General Hospital.
All participants agreed to provide a minimum service in all health facilities in this region. However, they decided that the service will be stopped at 15 hours each day in health facilities located in corners of insecurity.
"In case of emergency, the patients will be transferred directly to VUHOVI at the reference general hospital," says Pascal KASKOTI aka PAO, member of the inter-union VUHOVI.
It should be recalled that the dry strike of the health personnel was decided on February 19 following the murder of the nurse holding the health center of ISONGA and attacks on health facilities in this health zone. Health professionals continue to call for improved safety conditions in their work environment.

Ebola in DRC: Reasons for attacking two transit centers in Butembo

For the Butembo civil society, part of the population is still struggling to accept the existence of this epidemic, particularly because it served as a pretext for the cancellation of the elections in Butembo, but also in Beni.
It is probably not a coincidence, according to her, if these attacks took place just after the passage of the president of the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI). But it is not the only reason. "The swarming armed groups have only benefited from this crisis of confidence that already exists because, from the outset, the coordination of the response did not integrate the local community into the participation of the actions that it does" says Ely Karuvusa, vice president of Butembo's civil society.
