Kananga, 20 July 2018 - MONUSCO/Kananga correction unit conducted riot, hostage-taking and evacuation simulation exercise at Kananga central prison.

46 journalists from the print media and those of the audiovisual and on-line outlets from the territories of Fizi, Walungu and Uvira in the South-Kivu province including 11 women as well as media professionals from FARDC and PNC media professionals attended two-day discussions about media coverag

Situated in the city-center, Uvira does not have appropriate security infrastructures and its prison is overpopulated which makes it difficult to cope with a fire that might be reported in the prison premises and prevent disastrous consequences on the surrounding area.
