Mu gihe ibibazo by’umutekano muke bikomeje gusenya ubuzima bwa buri munsi mu bice bitandukanye bya Repubulika Iharanira Demokarasi ya Kongo, ubu hongeye kwaduka ikindi cyorezo cyuzuyemo amarira n’amarangamutima: Kolera. Amakuru mashya aturuka mu nzego z’ubuzima agaragaza ko abantu 757 bamaze guhitanwa n’iyi ndwara, abandi barenga ibihumbi bakaba bari mu mavuriro atandukanye barembye.
Iyi ndwara yibasira cyane abadafite amazi meza n’isuku ihagije. Mu ntara za Kivu y’Amajyaruguru, Kivu y’Amajyepfo ndetse no muri Tanganyika, ibitaro birapfutse: abarwayi babarirwa mu ijana bashyirwa mu cyumba kimwe, ibikoresho by’ubuvuzi bikabura, n’abaganga bakavura barwana n’amarira n’uruhuri rw’ibibazo. “Iyi si indwara itwica gusa, ahubwo ni n’ikimenyetso cy’uko twibagiranye, nta bikoresho, nta miti, nta mazi,” nk’uko bitangazwa n’umwe mu baganga bo ku bitaro bimwe.
Abaturage benshi bari mu nkambi z’impunzi, kubera intambara z’urudaca mu burasirazuba bwa RDC. Muri izo nkambi, amazi ni make kandi atari meza, ubwiherero n’ibindi bikorwa remezo byose ntibihagije. Ibi byatumye Kolera igira inzira yoroshye yo gukwirakwira. Umuryango umwe w’i Bukavu wabuze abana babiri mu masaha 24, batakaza ubuzima mu buryo bwihuse, ari na ko basigara bibaza impamvu amahanga acecetse.
OMS hamwe n’imiryango y’ubutabazi nka Médecins Sans Frontières bakomeje gusaba inkunga. Bemeza ko hakenewe inkingo nyinshi, ibikoresho byo kuvura, amazi meza n’amaraso mashya y’ubufasha. “Igihe ni gito, ariko dushobora kugikoresha neza. Uwo dufashije uyu munsi ni ubuzima burokotse ejo hazaza,” nk’uko bivugwa n’umwe mu bahagarariye ibikorwa byo ku butaka bwa RDC.
Iyi mibare ikomeje kuzamuka irerekana ko ibibazo by’isuku, ibikorwaremezo n’ihungabana ry’umutekano bishyira umutwaro uremereye ku baturage b’iki gihugu. Icyakora, impuruza zirongera gutangwa: niba hatagize igikorwa gikomeye, iyi ndwara izakomeza guhitana abarenga uyu mubare uriho.
Mu gihe abatuye mu burasirazuba bwa RDC bategereje inkunga, icyizere ni gike ariko ntikirazima. Muri buri rugo ruri kuririra ababo, hari ubutumwa bumwe: isi ntikeneye guceceka; igomba kureba no gufasha.
