The government, under the leadership of President Denis Sassou Nguesso, has unequivocally described the recent violence in the Pool region as criminal acts, rejecting any attempt to give them a political or ethnic coloration. The President, the guarantor of national unity and cohesion, reminds everyone that the law is the same for all Congolese, across the country’s 15 departments. While the “Zero Kuluna” operation is bearing fruit in the capital by combating urban banditry, the firm stance taken by the head of state in response to the incidents in the Pool sends a clear message: no illegal activity will be allowed to hinder the country’s march towards peace and development. This resolute and unifying approach by the President is the cornerstone of the strategy to ensure lasting security for all.
