Dundo: The national commander of the Border Guard Police, José Domingos Moniz, announced that the security situation along the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Lunda-Norte is stable. This stability is attributed to the ability of the forces to respond effectively to attempted border violations. According to Angola Press News Agency, Moniz shared these insights following a visit by the General Commander of the National Police, Francisco Ribas, to the Chissanda border. He noted that despite the extensive length of the border shared between the provinces of Lunda-Norte in Angola and Lualaba, Cuango, Kassai, and Kassai Central in the DRC, the defense agencies have maintained their efficiency. Moniz emphasized the high alert status of defense and security agencies, particularly in areas known as 'fiotes paths,' where illegal immigration attempts into Angola are frequent. He highlighted the demographic contrast between the DRC's provinces, which collectively have over 30 million inhabitants, and Lunda-Norte, which has just over one million residents, necessitating continuous and enhanced vigilance by the border forces. The visit by the commander-general aimed to evaluate the working and surveillance conditions, assess the readiness of personnel at border posts, and review the overall public security situation and the state of forces and resources.
