Isecurite à l'Est de la RDC
by namavu | October 24, 2012 at 8:17 AM | English translation available
La vie dans notre province du Sud-Kivu.
Aujourd'hui la population de la Cité d'Uvira s'est réveillé sous le crépitement de balles, les mayi mayi et les soldats de l'armée régulières se sont battus depuis quatre heures du matin jusqu'à 12h ; personne n'est sorti pour aller au travail ni à l'école pour les élèves ni aller au marché.
Il y a une femme qui a reçue une balle perdu et elle est morte. Nous continuons à subir les exactions de troupes étrangers dans notre pays. Que les insécurités finissent en RD Congo
Je vous aime beaucoup!

Insecurity in Eastern DRC
Life in our South Kivu province.
Today the population of the Uvira city woke up in the noise of bullets, the Mayi Mayi and the regular soldiers fought from 4am until 12 noon; nobody went to work, nor to school {for the students} nor go to market.
There is a woman who has received a stray bullet and died. We continue to suffer abuses from foreign troops in our country. Let insecurity stop in DR Congo
I love you very much!

Merci pour votre contribution.
C'est dommage qu'une femme est morte gratuitement a cause d'une balle perdue.

Maintain sanity in difficult times
Namavu,
You are very brave to tell us what is happening around you. I know you are scared and I would be as well. It is at these times you count on one another and try to stay sane and safe. Gather together with others to help minimize the fear of the children. Staying busy helping others is the key when there is no power in that moment to change what happens beyond your home.
I share your desire for peace and security in your community and in the world. I know that your words will reach many of us and make sure you are not forgotten.
Know that I am with you and that many of us care about you.

Praying for peace
Dear Namavu,
My hopes are with all of you that you can make it away from this violence and fear. It is hard to imagine how scary this must be, but I think of my sisters in DRC very often. I pray for peace for you and for all of us. Please keep telling your story, and we will keep telling your story to the rest of the world so that you may live in peace and love.

Insecurite dans l'Est de la RDC
Namavu,
J'imagine aisement le stress moral dans lequel vous vivez tous. Que Dieu vous protege.
Je vous conseillerai de toujours avoir des provisions a la maison au cas ou vous seriez forces de rester cloitrer chez vous comme c'est le cas en ce moment. Au moins jusqu'a ce que cette situation se normalise.
Nous prions pour vous et la communaute internationale se mobilise pour que la paix revienne en RDC.
Sachez que nombreuses sont les personnes qui vous soutiennent a l'exterieur dde la RDC et qui esperent une resolution rapide dans les mois a venir, de cette crise.
