Shabunda clashes continue

Meanwhile, clashes of “varying intensity” were continuing in Shabunda as well as the mining areas of Lulingu and Kachungu, the WFP report said. Attacks by Interahamwe militia have moved northwest from Kalonge toward the forest of Bunyakiri. Some humanitarian activities in Bunyakiri, Katana and Uvira have had to be temporarily suspended due to insecurity along the northern axis. An estimated 55,000 displaced people had arrived in the Bukavu area alone since January, the report stated, adding that malnutrition was reported to be increasing as the displacements continued.
