URGENT: SITUATION IN UVIRA — ON-THE-SITE TESTIMONY A testimony gathered on the ground reveals the truth behind the houses vandalized by delinquents in #Uvira.

North Kivu – Armed Incursion in Musenge North Kivu: On the night of January 24-25, 2026, an armed incursion took place in Musenge, in the Mwenye group (Lubero territory). This attack resulted in the deaths of two FARDC soldiers and caused material damage, including the burning of houses and community buildings. The situation has reignited concerns among residents already affected by a recent massacre in Mausa. Many displaced people encountered along the roads believe that the persistent insecurity is linked to the presence of armed groups between Butuhe and Nziapanda. Local leaders and civil society are calling on the authorities to take concrete measures to dismantle these armed groups in order to strengthen security and restore state authority to provide lasting protection for the population.
