As I heard a sad
story of a woman named
Elysée,
I am standing to tell the entire world about it.
The woman who knows her value.
As some mercenaries called
M23 entered her house around
a day and foced her to lay on the ground
while looking at the sky.
She listened to them and laid easily
on the floor to avoid to be slaughtered
or shot publicly.
As she refused to sleep
with some mercenaries,
She was hit,
raped,
and mutilated ...
her eyes gouged out
in the presence of her children
and husband.
I can say loud, "
Woe to these heartless
Rwandan mercenaries."
As the women celebrate today
March 8, 2025.
My call to you dear mamas and sisters,
" feel the pains of Congolese women
Oh wise women of the World.
Stand with the women of Goma
and Bukavu who are victims of daily atrocities.
So sad as many women of northern, southern
Kivu and ituri continue to be preys of some rebels
and mercenaries.

Promenade on mountain
rwenzori in Goma.
We were in black and white on the snow
looking at the nice view
of the northern KIVU.
She was over the moon
As it was her first time to be
At such wonderful place.
Speaking silently
with her big eyes.
Staring at me fearlessly,
beautiful personality
whom my eyes kept
seeing for some years.
the promenade was fantastic,
As I was surrounded by some good folks
Enjoying the beauty of DRCongo in peace.
beside multiple attacks and rebellions
in some parts of East of DRCongo
which always provoked
by some jealous
neighbours
of DRCongo who are supported
by the international community
and some super powers countries
to divide DRCongo into many countries
for them to continue stealling
Congolese's natural resources.
Majority Congolese remain very kind
people on this planet
As they always fear God.

As she saw dead bodies of some innocent people
In east of D.R.Congo before sleeping,
she had a nightmare.
Seeing some goons
wearing dangerous masks with guns
attacking her family.
She screamed for help and no one came.
So the bandits killed them so badly.
She was so confused,
crying for losing some relatives.
Woke up morning frighten terrible,
thought of some bad things
to happen to her family members.
Her husband tried to clean her mind.
reminded her about the last news of the war
in east of DRC which could be the cause of that nightmare.
some terrorists cut some people with bush knives.
Some civilians stood to defend themselves
as they suspected the complicity
of the international community...
supporting the rebels M23 and others
behind the troops from East African Community
in northern KIVU
to fulfil to balkanise D.R .Congo
into many countries
Which many Congolese
hate the most.

No need of UN peacekeepers in DRCongo
As they seemed to fail their mission
after some decades.
Many Congolese accused the UN militaries
to support the rebel troops in many part of Southern , Nothern Kivu and Ituri provinces.
Few days back ,
some civilians marched peacefully,
while claiming the depart of UN peacekeepers
as they were caught many times supplying munissions
to some rebels.
It happened many times for the rebels to hide
in UN military bases when they were ambushed
by the Congolese national defence forces.
The people who marched were shot by four complice militaries who refused to point the commander
who gave them orders to shoot on civilians
who claimed their rights.
It caused a bed tension in the entire country for some days.
The government officials decided for the swift of UN peacekeepers in the entire country to please people
who are tired of them from twenty six years
in that useless UN peace mission.

When you ask many rich Congolese
of the East of DRCongo about the reasons
of keeping their millions US dollars
under the grounds.
Majority of them will point the Wars
And some Rebellions
Which are pushing
And supporting
by some Westerners
And Americans of evil hearts.
Rivers and lakes in Congo have more fish
But industrial fishing is not developed
due to few modern fishing boats.
Congolese engineers are the first black
African engineers who made some marine airoplanes
And more luxuries ship of international standards
on lake Kivu and Tanganyika.
Why these Congolese riches don't expand
on industrial fishing for more fish products
And export some raw and cooked
fish worldwide?

Uvira my birthplace
A small town of Democratic
Republic
of the Congo
Which is at the boundaries
of the lake Tanganyika
In Southern Kivu province.
A place
Where many rebellions
started because
of many borders
with other countries.
Uvira my birthplace,
I see many rivers
And long chains of mountains
called Mitumba.
I see the second Congolese
Seaport interm of income which
connect DRCongo with
Burundi , Tanzania
And Zambia.
Uvira my birthplace,
The birthplace of many Bavira
Bashi ,Bafuliru,
Babembe Banyindu,
And Barega people.
A beautiful place
With multi - cultural and
linguistic people
Who relay on businesses,
Agriculture,
Small farming
And fishing.
Oh! Nice view ,
Weather , fauna
And flora.
I always dream about
This small town,
My beautiful Birthplace,
I love so much Uvira.
