The balkanisation of DRC may be ripe now!As of our various leaks last month,we may soon have a country named the Republic of KIVU.

" Republic of Kivu " these are visible inscriptions on a " flag " visible on several outskirts oftof  city of Bukavu onon Wednesd, July 1st, 2020.
Hanging on tree sticks in several places in the city, this flag with yellow, black and blue colors and a star in the middle keeps mobilizing the curious population.
In the morning of Wednesday some inhabitants of the commune of Kadutu have moved to Buholo 3 to observe a flag installed at a little roundabout.
Also in the municipality of Ibanda, these flags were visible in the morning towards the roundabout ISP of Bukavu and on the road section of Place Mulamba-College said called "witness mile" in the old days.
It's hard to identify those who wanted to express themselves by these flags "Republic of Kivu" spread across the city but the idea is no longer new in South Kivu.
Indeed, opinion leaders, scientists and other inhabitants have in the informal, started the discussion about the need for Kivu to detach from the rest of Congo and its capital Kinshasa in particular. They justify this by the concern of the wealth of Kivu to benefit the inhabitants of the region.
On the other hand, many others do not hesitate to say that Kivu is insecure because Kinshasa does not know how to find solutions for a region considered just as a "dairy cow" and not part of the country.
Many political actors in Bukavu comment each in their sense and support do not want to speak publicly at the moment. They count themselves in all political parties.
Another opinion that still disagree with this approach of having Kivu as a country warn against an idea that could destabilize Congo and also serve a likely future country by setting the example of the current South Sudan.
Journalist Prince murhula wonders
Journalist and trainer, Prince murhula notes that this is for the first time that this feeling has invaded communities in South Kivu.
This journalist, one of the most respected in the city, reminds that even at the time of the RCD, it was Bukavu who resisted this temptations.
" I remind you that it is for the first time in the history of the DRC that this feeling is increasingly invading communities. Many of the becomingly by combining him with the "frustrations of the UNC members" following the condemnation of Kamerhe. But never, to my knowledge, I've never seen such a thing come from Kivu. As a reminder, During the 1998-2003 s, while the RCD Rebellion occupied the eastern part, resistance was strong in the community. In Kivu, everyone swore for the reunion of the country.
Civil society organizations, trade unions, student s' college have put in place a "peaceful" internal resistance but which destabilize the armed movement that did not hesitate to shoot protesters. Among the strategies used by the movement, the use of the Kinshasa national flag which was raised to public places.
In fact, during the Rebellion, Kinshasa had its flag (blue colors, six stars and a big yellow star in the middle) while the RCD used the current DRC flag. So this was an affront to the rebels. But it was a clear message that had passed to him: We want unity. Today seeing the "flag of the Republic of Kivu" float, I wonder he writes.
In any case, for now, the comments go in every way on social media as in political fairs but one thing is clear: never this question has also been discussed easily as at present in the city known as answers of Bukavu.
