The internet has been in an uproar since the authorities in Congo announced the planned execution of 170 prisoners on death row. According to the authorities, the prisoners were armed robbers and urban bandits who had been causing chaos and violence across several cities in the country. The interesting thing is that the majority of the prisoners were between the ages of 18 -35. While some, especially those in the international community, have condemned the move, others in Congo applaud the decision of the Congolese government. But the big question is “Will the death penalty help to reduce the insecurity and violence in Congo cities? Let’s find out.
As you know the DRC is one of those African countries that has been experiencing severe insecurity and violence for decades. According to several reports, there are more than a hundred different armed groups operating in the country, including the notorious M23 group. Many of these groups regularly perpetrate widespread violations and abuses against civilians that may amount to crimes against humanity and war crimes. In addition to this, the country also has to deal with local urban gangs known as the Kulunas who have also incited violence and chaos in the country.
Prior to all these, the government of Congo had abolished the death penalty in 1981 with the last executions held in 2003. However, the law was reinstated in 2006. Now, since Felix Tshisekedi, the President of Congo resumed office in 2019, the insecurity and chaos have been on the increase, even in its capital city, Kinshasa. The perpetrators of this insecurity are none other than the Kulunas. Perhaps the pressure of dealing with insecurity from every angle is what pushed the government to announce the resumption of capital punishment in March 2024.
M23 is not group of bandit they are trying stop genocide against Tutsi in congo
For those condemning Tshisekedi's move citing human rights . Have you ever thought about the rights of the victims, people killed by those idiots?!
Leopolds Ghost is responsible for the economic conditions creating the social patheogens ongoi g today
no one is perfect in world only God not chisekedi not me
only kulunas have right to life not the victims,is that you are telling me you rights groups?
The USA continues to do execution
Does this comment section know how many people have been displaced and killed by these young rebels. None of you knows what is happening in Congo and what rebels are doing to the people. It's been decades and neighbouring countries are literally filled with Congolese refugees. Do some research before jumping to conclusions please.
When you’re on the outside looking in.. it’s best to close your mouth!!! We have no idea of the suffering the people of Congo is going through with so much crime.. now watch how the decrease in crime will prevail.. a lot of countries needs to stricken the laws to put fear in criminals and killers.. my
Condolences to the victims ❤
This is madness
Human rights activist having no regard for victims, f*ck around and find out….
Sshouldnt not have commited crime
So the people who are killed, violated, tortured and raped by these gangs don't deserve the rights? Or the rights is only for gangs?
We fight not fresh and blood but principalities, darkness.The bodies will surely die but the demons will possess other people😢😢 😢😢😢
Congo is ruled by idiots
Amnesty int is a pain.
Literally DRC authorities decided to execute street people, to draw attention from their own Kinshasa-Brussels mineral resources corruption cabal.
The average African governments are corrupt but onlike Nigeria and Congo where corruption is actually a virtue
So this was the solution alright may congo get better after this and i hope they make sure to educate every young kids to be a good citizen so we wouldn't have to see this again rip to all the soul ❤
Who are all those human rights organisations when the Rwanda is causing a chaos in DRC ?in fact the Rwanda is killing, robbery with violent, lastly they cut a mechanic's hand for trying to save a girl.
How about that white dude isn't he not supposed to be deported to his jail country
Sad. nevertheless, locals seem to be happy whilst international community thinks this is wrong. I think you have no absolute right to comment on domestic issues espeicially where you dont understand
Human rights groups are grifters that actually harm the rest of us for $$$$$
These people don’t have a heart to kill these teens who possibly could have been rehabilitated how do they go to sleep at night killing all these people in one day this is heartless and sick
Those boys are victims of poor leadership and absent fathers
You can't be part of the society that you terrorise, if this a problem give them asylum in your countries 🤷!
Get rid of all of them are they animal it's full time for black people get out of this Niger mind set why my brother are behaving like this
Who was the white dude? A real European looking dude.
if a leader is devoted to stabilising the county like Burkina Faso…The west should desist from calling him Dictator…Now that Mr trap is Chessing away all illegal
Migrates…some of whom are African who had long settled in America the wrong ..who has called him dictator, does he mind the views from African leaders.
The westerners are against this because they know they are involved in this plans either direct or indirect

The government is full of crime bro! When compared with those corrupted government those peoples didn't do anything wrong. But because of having money and power, noone speaks about them. No justice in Africa for sure. I am traumatized by watching this disaster.
False informations do your research. those ones shown being executed looked healthy they look more like ethiopians then congolese and they are wearing plain blue tops with no yellow stripes found in the congolese ones…most are not killed but sent very far away from their families in an island.
Make this make sense. There's a Rwanda gang, of 4000 on the premises of Congo, that executed about a million people in one city and they are doing nothing
DO NOT KILL YOUR OWN POEPLE. NO. MAKE THEM FARMERS. THIS IS NOT THE WAY. WHITES PUT YOU UNTO THIS TAILSPIN. YOU ARE BLACK. PEACE ONLY
…kaduna has no out…care about outcome…
…and in other more important matters there are still no arrest made in the drowning murder of little Cal suspects ninja bill and sickie still at large 🤠
I feel pity for Congo
