for the Sukola 2 Sud Sud-Kivu operational
sector. He also specifies that several houses
were set on fire during this attack. “The regular
army was not present in the two villages
attacked and this rebel coalition had just the
objective of sabotaging the hardships and
burning the houses of the inhabitants. The
population fled and the students were
dispersed. Loyalist forces intervened and the
situation for the moment is a little calm, ”he
explained. Captain Dieudonné Kasereka points
out that a military officer was injured during the
intervention of the Armed Forces of the
Democratic Republic of Congo in the hunt for
these rebels. In addition, civil society sources
indicate that the clashes pitted the Ngumino
armed group against the Mai-Mai. André
Byadunia, coordinator of the New Congolese
Civil Society South South Kivu axis informs that
the villages Bilalombili and Ngezi were set on
fire and more than 500 students who should go
