"The province is now enjoying tranquility," he said, adding the insecurity the insurgents created three months ago by attacking boats along the River Congo had ended.

"One can now move peacefully from Kisangani (Orientale province) to Mbandaka, the headquarters of Equateur and from Mbandaka to Kisangani," he affirmed.
