Electoral conflicts with divisionist fund

The students of ISTM/ BUKAVU dislodged because of contesting their spokesman election.

The students of the higher technical-medical Institution ( ISTM )of Bukavu were obliged with no exception to leave their boarding house on Wednesday 26^th 2005 since 16p.m by the policemen because of contesting the results of their Spokesman election, organized on 25^th January 2005.By the end of the vote , the student Rachidi Okela,2^nd year undergraduate in public health won whereas his comrade Ntacho Cito ,1^st year graduate in health lost elections.

According to the information recollected from field, some students might have contested the results because the happier – winner is not theirs. As things were getting worse, in the sense of opposing both sides (big and small families ) which each had already had its relatives, the police had taken part.

To avoid the worst, the only solution was to drive every body away from dormitories up until good situation of harmony would be found.

During that time, to put themselves under cover of bad weathers in this rainy season and gangsterism at night, the students coming out of Bukavu town and having no relatives went to the Mayor’s for assistance: board and lodging.

The asbl Heritiers de la Justice regretfully notices that, students future intellectuals of the country, be unable to accept the result from election, even though the country makes its hope in them for this year 2005; pluralist elections to different levels to make end to transition which lasted much.

Héritiers de la Justice reminds itself that the climate of peace, unity and cohesion of harmony always characterized students’ areas of South-Kivu until late ago.

It questions itself whether that divisionist virus born in the Southern-kivu student is spontaneous or it is the result of manipulation got from outside by fishermen in troubled water.

The association reminds the different parts as well as to provincial and academic authorities for a happy and urgent outcome with the result that courses not be lost in quarrels which have nothing to do with  studies and that the situation may not reach an uncontrolled confusion.
