After the M23 rebels seized Goma, the group established a new administration that manages local affairs, affecting daily life in the city. Residents like cab driver Fidele Nkulu note improvements in safety, despite ongoing insecurity. In Bukavu, taken shortly after Goma, daily life normalized quickly, but reports indicate an uptick in crime attributed to abandoned weapons. While initiatives by newly appointed mayor Julien Katembo aim to restore order and sanitation, challenges remain as the region grapples with insecurity and crime influenced by the conflict.
Fidele Nkulu believes that the security situation has improved since the new administration entered the city but also acknowledges that more needs to be done, highlighting ongoing instances of insecurity despite improvements.
Following the M23's takeover, Goma has seen a semblance of normality restored, with new administration-led initiatives and community projects focusing on sanitation, yet crime rates have increased.
