Following the last deadly attacks, the city of Beni lives in a psychosis. A climate of suspicion has set in. This Saturday, November 29, two people were lynched and killed by the people who accused them of belonging to the ADF fighters.
For the young people of the neighborhood, there is no doubt, these two people are part of the Ugandan rebellion of the ADF . They say they found in the vehicle in which both people were traveling military effects. Hard to confirm or deny. Everything went fast. As a result, all the vehicles that pass near here are searched from top to bottom. The soldiers disembark and try to calm the situation.
" Let everybody get out of the vehicles. People sometimes circulate the sentences. They want us to spend the night away from home. We do not want Monusco either. We do not want a curfew that starts at 6 pm Even the police have to leave our quarters, we ourselves will ensure security. "
While the military is trying to convince young people to clear the roadway and rumors still lingering in the city, a few kilometers away, some residents of neighborhoods like Boikene are abandoning their homes and reaching the city center, where they believe to be safer.
