A YOUNG MAN SUSPECTED SPY OF THE M23 REBELS WAS STONED THEN BURNED IN MUGUNGA

 



He was stoned on Thursday, May 30, 2024 by the angry population, mostly displaced by war, not far from the Lushagala camp in the Mugunga district. According to local testimonies, this alleged M23 spy was filming the positions of the FARDC in Lushagala from or the army would have responded. According to the population, he was filming to direct the M23 rebels who were seeking to destroy the heavy weapons of the FARDC who had been shooting at them since 4 a.m. ''There were 3 of them and they filmed each time it was fired, the direction from which the shots from the heavy weapons of the Congolese army and the SAMIDRC came and sent the images to the M23_RDF. When the population approached from him his two others vanished into the Lushagala camp. After the population got their hands on him, he began to ask for forgiveness, begging to go and show where those who entrusted him with this filming mission were. But under the influence of anger and without qualms. , the population burned him alive after being stoned. ''explains a resident at the scene. The president of Mugunga civil society, Christian KALAMO condemns this case of popular justice which benefited the enemy rather than the loyalist forces. A resident explains: ''His phone is proof, he was filming the heavy weapons, he had already sent the photos to members of the M23, we have suffered for a long time, we cannot tolerate that someone for their own interests continues to attack us. .'' This is an act that we do not encourage, by carrying out this act the country lends a lot of information which was to help the country. The person killed would be a lead exploited to have all the information necessary to properly identify the sponsors . But when the population does mob justice, the government loses many things that it would have revealed and informed.
