DRC's capital kinshasha locked by Insecurity as a result of a gang of young men termed as" KULUNA" whose acts are similar to those we call ABOBUTAYIMBWA in Kampala."


The president of the Senate, Alexis Thambwe Mwamba was critical of the security authorities in Kinshasa following the outbreak of urban crime orchestrated by bandits known as "kuluna".
In his opening speech of the March parliamentary session, he somehow denounced the passivity of the state which, according to his question, would be limited to securing only Gombe, which is one of the 24 communes of the capital.
" We also regret the increase in urban banditry, in cities and major cities of the country, and especially in the city of Kinshasa: complaints of kidnappings, car theft, expatriates and national attacks, are happening to us Plus. The state seems overwhelmed and of of individuals want to impose their law on us. Seeing them act like this, we wonder if in Kinshasa the state is limited to Gombe, and again, we urge law enforcement, to solve this problem ", he said.
He also asked " the Senate Defense and Security Committee to investigate possible ways to address these issues. "
Urban crime has grown on another scale in the capital. Young "kuluna" sometimes operate in machete in view and knowledge of law enforcement to extort valuable goods from passers-by and do not hesitate to hurt them in the event of resistance.
The many messages of the Congolese National Police on their twitter account can witness the gloomy security climate in the city of Kinshasa. No later than Monday, March 16, police wrote: " Kimbanseke, Ngiesi neighborhood in Mabanza yellow land in the surroundings of I bayaka, young kulunas criminals distribute insecurity without being worried. "
