The situation in South Kivu is escalating as thousands of Burundese soldiers move toward the high plateaus under the guidance of FDLR and Wazalendo groups. The stated goal is to eliminate all Banyamulenge presence there. This comes from Nubwacu Lionel Yves, an advisor to President Evariste Ndayishimiye, who made a statement in 2025 that was at least worrying. He used the phrase Tuzobavura which literally means we are going to cure you.
