Kakaluigi describes an apprehensive mood [1] (Fr) in Bukavu [2], a city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bukavu was caught in the middle of fighting between Tutsi [3] government forces and the Hutu [4] 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.”
