FPIC militiamen launched several attacks on Bahema chiefdom,FARDC captured 5 CODECO Militants in the village of matete.

Bahema’s  Irumu chiefdom has recorded since Thursday, July 23, 2020 several attacks by FPIC militiamen, known as “Chini ya Kilima” in at least 4 different localities.
According to the head of this entity, Bahinduka Bamuhiga David, the attackers attacked in particular the Badia bridge as well as the villages of Tangu, Kabarole and Balazana located in the outskirts of Bunia, the provincial capital of Ituri.
"There was an attack of the FPIC, yesterday they entered from the Badia bridge, they went up to Tangu, Balazana and it is today that they attacked Kabarole" he explained.
This customary authority, which puts forward a still provisional assessment of 3 people killed, adds that a psychosis reigns among the population, the majority of whom have moved to more secure environments.
The military has yet to respond to this situation.
For 3 years, Ituri province has been torn apart by several attacks and led by different groups of millices, CODECO in Djugu, FPIC and ADF in Irumu as well as several other Mai Mai groups in Mambasa.
In related incidence,DRC Armed Forces repelled an attack by a group of CODECO militiamen early in the morning of Friday, July 24, 2020 in the village of Matete, located 6 kilometers from Mungwalu, the main agglomeration of the region, north of Bunia chief- place of Ituri province.
According to the bourgmestre of Mungwalu commune, these outlaws who were leaving Sayo a district of this mining town to go to Besse and Liso attacked loyalist forces on patrol on the Mungwalu-kilo axis.
In their exchange of fire, 5 people among the militiamen were captured including 3 children, 1 woman and 1 man before recovering an AK-47 type weapon with magazine.
“This Friday July 24, 2020 around 4 am, while our soldiers were on patrol on the Mungwalu-kilo axis, more precisely in the village of Matete, they were attacked by a group of CODECO elements who came from Mungwalu , Sayo and wanted to regain Besse and evolve into Liso. Once attacked, our soldiers of the 312nd Battalion had to retaliate where they managed to control the situation by capturing three children, a man and a woman plus an AK-47 weapon with a magazine, ”explains Jean-Pierre Bikilisende.
According to the same source, those captured are well protected and treated by the army and no loss of human life has been noted by the FARDC.
Mr. Bikilisende took the opportunity to encourage the population of his jurisdiction to collaborate with the loyalist forces, before once again inviting the CODECO attackers to come back to common sense by responding to the call of the Congolese Head of State Félix Tshisekedi who even dispatched a delegation of former Lendu warlords to the area to negotiate peace.
On July 12, another alleged CODECO assailant was arrested in the Depot neighborhood in the same rural commune of Mungwalu, a mining area where artisanal gold mining is the main activity of 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.
