High tension in South Kivu Plateau area

    NAIROBI

    A team of humanitarian organisations, which visited the Uvira and Fizi areas of South Kivu earlier this month, found that tension was high between the local population and Banyamulenge in the haut and moyen Plateau. Security on the Ruzizi Plains was "acceptable", while the Fizi zone was still subject to Mayi-Mayi/RCD confrontations, the mission report said.

    It warned that humanitarian action could only be undertaken
    "following the evaluation of security risks".
