Walikale: Territorial Administrator Urges Population to Unite Against the FRN and Reject Rebel Overtures

In Walikale-centre on October 21, territorial administrator Ado Laurent Kasongo Kabunda urged residents to reject overtures from the National Revolutionary Front (FRN) and preserve the unity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He called on the population to support peace, social cohesion and the national dialogue initiative, while local officials were asked to raise awareness in their communities. Fiston Misona, head of Walikale’s civil society, urged residents who had joined the FRN to disengage. Local authorities and civil society representatives are relying on community outreach to discourage cooperation with rebel groups and help secure lasting peace.
