After Uvira, the South Kivu provincial government has temporarily relocated to the town of Baraka in Fizi. The first official statement from the South Kivu provincial government was issued from Baraka, in the Fizi territory.
According to this statement, 413 people, including women and children, were killed in Katogota, in the Uvira territory. The government denounces serious human rights violations and ceasefire violations, while confirming the presence of Rwandan soldiers, AFC/M23 elements, and mercenaries in the Uvira region.
Faced with the intensification of fighting, the South Kivu provincial authorities fled and retreated to Baraka, located about 100 kilometers from Uvira, along National Route 5.
More than 200,000 internally displaced persons have been registered.
