May 21, 2019 Francois Okonda
Calm returned in mid-day Tuesday, May 21, 2019 after the sharp tension observed in the morning in the city of Bafwasende, located more than 260 kilometers from Kisangani on the RN4. The angry population protests against the presence of a non-governmental organization that came to vaccinate against the current Ebola outbreak in the sister and neighboring provinces of North Kivu and Ituri learned depechesdelatshopo from local sources. All the news was paralyzed.
For the inhabitants, there is no question of vaccinating in Bafwasende where there is still no case of Ebola.
And to express their disagreement, they were in the street and strapped the vehicle of said NGO.
The police quickly intervened to restore the order while proceeding to the interpellation of certain demonstrators.
The provisional record of the clashes shows six wounded and a damaged vehicle.
Reacting about this in social networks, an analyst who knows the area well writes:
"The capital of the Bafwasende territory has hosted a strong community Yira (Nande) of Butembo, active in trade and agriculture. It is possible that the activities of the response suffer the same fate, resistance, in Bafwasende as what happens in the cities of Beni and Butembo. As there is also intense commercial exchange between Butembo and Bafwasende, any suspect case not properly supported, can unfortunately infiltrate to Kisangani. A strong need for awareness is urgent in Bafwasende. "
Note that all our efforts to reach the administrator of the territory of Bafwasende have not succeeded.
