Via Radio Moto Butembo-Beni: BUTEMBO: a "stressful safety" around the CTE ITAV. The lightly edited Google translation:
In fact, the security around the Ebola Treatment Center ITAV in Butembo stresses the population of the VUTSUNDO neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods. The mayor of Kimemi spoke about it during the weekly parade of state services at City Hall on the morning of Monday, March 18, 2019.
Gilbert BWAMBALE MUHANYIRI presented complaints from the population, in particular those concerning the prohibition of passage, especially at morning and evening hours, on streets and avenues within the perimeter of this health facility. The communal authority shared its reaction, stating that there is no curfew measure that can prohibit the freedom of passage to citizens. But the measure being safe, according to the security services he says he has met, Gilbert BWAMBALE MUHANYIRI calls its citizens and other people who pass around the CTE ITAV to carry, each of his identity document that will allow them to be well identified and ensure their safety.
The Mayor of Kimemi said, moreover, he deplores the migration of the population of MUNZAMBAYI and VUTSUNDO, at least every night, these days. According to them, the inhabitants of these entities fear the throes of the possible attacks announced these days by leaflets. The unknown authors of these documents promise to assault the CTE ITAV, claim sums of money and forbid the inhabitants to stay at home.
In this regard, the Mayor asks them not to give in to the fear of the enemy, but to collaborate with the security services who defend against the enemy. Another appeal of the Mayor of Kimemi to the population is to lend a hand to the health experts to completely eradicate the Ebola virus disease.
