Decisions on the the burial of general kahimbi creates a divide between family members,KIVU and FARDC

General Major's funeral, Delphin Kahimbi Kasagwe divided the biological family, as well as friends and acquaintances. Indeed, on 7 May 2020, FARDC Deputy Chief of Staff had received limited biological family members to inform them of the decisions of the Deputy Chief of Staff in charge of the Administration and Logistics.
The General Staff of FARDC, for reasons of respect for his memory and tribute to this illustrious leader of war, finally seized the family in the following words: " In view of the coronavirus pandemic and instructions of his Excellency Mr. President of the Republic, the Chief of Staff General informs the family of the decision to bury the late General Kahimbi Kasagwe Delphin in Kinshasa, leaving her to organize later his funeral in Kiniezire, her native village, located in the territory of Kalehe in South Kivu province ".
This great and historic territory, it is remembered, includes several communities and tribes, namely the Bashi, Banande, Bahunde, Batembo, bahutu,batwa and Batutsi. As an eloquent proof of this socio-political reality, all of these communities are gathered in a Asbl called the "Agreement of the nationals of the of Territory" currently chaired by a local socio-political authority
Still according to reports of the press conference held yesterday Tuesday, May 2020, 12 in the municipality of Kintambo, the project to bury the late Delphin Kahimbi Kasagwe in Kinshasa according to the decisions of the General Staff of the FARDC, violating the rules of their ancient customs and traditions. For some, why not wait until the end of this pandemic and then hold a grand funeral in honor of this worthy son of the country? Doesn't this rush to carry out the funeral of General Major Delphin Kahimbi Kasagwe risk of causing and creating unspeakable hot tubs in the local communities of Kalehe territory and its surroundings in the form of a posthumous settlement of accounts?
So this is the dispute between the FARDC General Staff and the nationals of this large territory located geographically between the two provinces of South and North Kivu.
However, it is felt that, taking into account the concerns expressed by nationals of these two provinces over the current health situation, they still hope to hold their son's funeral when the time comes. Reason why the body is still kept since February 28th, the day of death, until today in Kinshasa at the level of the hospital of the Cinquantenaire hospital, waiting for its transfer to Kalehe and more precisely to the native village at level of the village of Kiniezire.
It is noted that while waiting for this funeral, in a correspondence dated May 8 from the biological family of the deceased, family and some friends claim to have already built a mausoleum in Kiniezire for the funeral of the late general-Major Delphin Kahimbi for organize a family funeral worthy of the name of the famous general-major and war lightning.
