The world watches in silence as the Hame people of Ituri face systematic extermination at the hands of the Kinshasa government. This is not a conflict between armed factions or a rebellion against the state this is the targeted destruction of an innocent people whose only crime is their very existence. It is ethnic cleansing unfolding before our eyes, and yet, the world remains indifferent.

The Congolese government insists that it exercises control over the region through its so-called “état de siege” (state of siege), an emergency measure purportedly designed to restore order. Yet, what order is there when mass killings, forced displacements, and destruction of entire communities persist? The state of siege has not provided security; rather, it has enabled further suffering, allowing government-backed forces and militias to terrorize the population with impunity. How can such atrocities continue in a region where the government claims to be in control?
The Hame people are being erased, and the world’s silence is complicity. Human rights organizations, international bodies, and foreign governments must not turn away from this crisis. It is time to demand accountability from Kinshasa. A government that brutalizes its own citizens has lost all legitimacy and can no longer be excused under the guise of sovereignty.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has long been plagued by instability, but the targeted extermination of the Hame people represents a new low. This is not just a failure of governance it is an outright crime against humanity. How much longer will the international community tolerate a regime that takes pleasure in harming its own people?
The people of Ituri need urgent rescue. The world must stand in solidarity with the Hame, amplifying their voices and demanding intervention before it is too late. The cycle of impunity must end. Justice must be served. Lives must be saved.The time for action is now.
