Young Students in OICHA pleads to the DRC gorvenment to offer them military training to fight against rebels like ADF that has worsened security in BENI

A military training of one to two weeks for young people for additional support to the FARDC in their fight against the militiamen, this is the proposal made by the Association of National Students of Oïcha (AEROE) to restore peace and security in the east of the country.
For this organization, all young volunteers willing to learn something from military training should be granted government permission to deal with the embarrassing and persistent insecurity in Beni.
This plea by the Association of National Students of Oïcha in the face of the massacres of civilians in the Beni region is contained in its statement made public this Thursday, August 27, 2020.
The AEROE proposes that training and an endowment of weapons be made simply to young volunteers for additional support to the soldiers well engaged at the Beni front.
This structure proposes the suspension of all payment of taxes due to the State in the Beni region. It calls on the population to remain upright and mobilized in the face of the enemy's diabolical plan aimed at the occupation of indigenous lands and the extermination of the civilian population.
The Oïcha National Students Association deplores the passivity of the Congolese government in the face of the killings in Beni, which illustrates a genocide in progress in Beni.
AEROE recalls that since the launch of the so-called large-scale military operations on October 30, 2019, at least 792 civilians have been killed by alleged elements of the ADF.
