Frederich Ngabo is a Canadian from the Democratic Republic of Congo origin of Birava in South Kivu, he moved to Canada in 2009 as a refugee. Fredirich is critical to the current governance in DRC which is perceived as being in the opposition.
Towards the end of November 2023 he came to Goma in order to offer relief aid to Internally Displaced Persons but after few weeks he went missing and no one had information about his whereabouts. We alerted various stakeholders about his missing and we are so pleased to hear that he is life and free now, after six months in captivity.
