Democratic Republic of the Congo: Bukavu, a city caught in the middle of many wars

Kakaluigi describes an apprehensive mood (Fr) in Bukavu, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bukavu was caught in the middle of fighting between Tutsi government forces and the Hutu that fled there after the Rwandan genocide, and later between Congolese government and rebel forces. Kakaluigi wonders whose interests President Joseph Kabila really has at heart: those of Bukavu's people at heart or the Rwandan government. “During the day he is with us and at night he is with Kigali.”
