Local chief pleads to MONUSCO to establish bases in mwanga, Solowa and Tseli in ITURI to protect DRC civilians from rebel attacks



Thursday, June 25, 2020 as part of a mission to assess the role of Monusco in the protection of civilians, Zorabo Lemy Jonas, chief of chiefdom of Baboa-Bokoe located about ten kilometers northwest of Bunia has pleaded for the installation of a military base in the locality of Mwanga several times targeted by the attacks of the militiamen of CODECO.
"We need a Monusco base in Mwanga, Solowa and Tseli where there are often attacks by CODECO attackers", he said.
The customary authority has also invited the peacekeepers to step up their patrols and also fund some development projects in this area.
For his part Atiminedi Utundeni, in charge of gender, family and children in this chiefdom has prohibited the local population from carrying out defamation campaigns against the UN soldiers who are often wrongly accused of supporting the enemies of peace by providing them weapons and ammunition.
Last month, several voices were raised in Ituri demanding the departure of Monusco, in particular civil society and the caucus of parliamentarians from this province, believing that the UN mission was not doing enough to protect civilians.

In the letter, the signatories - which include tech justice NGO Foxglove and digital rights campaigners Access Now - say the proposed app could be another step towards a surveillance state. Campaign groups have written an open letter to UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson warning GCHQ and its digital arm, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), will have the capacity to re-identify the phones of people who install the country’s coronavirus contact-tracing app. They also note the legal framework underpinning the software, which is currently being trialled on the Isle of Wight, is believed to be inadequate to protect people from misuse of their data by the Joint Committee on Human Rights. “Parliament has to quickly issue an adequate legal framework that guarantees users’ human rights protection.
