Impanuka nk’izi si nshya mu kiyaga cya Kivu ku ruhande rwa DR Congo, aho amato kenshi atwara abantu barenze ubushobozi bwayo kandi batambaye ‘gilets’ zifasha abantu kutarohama igihe habaye impanuka. Muri Mata 2019 impanuka y’ubwato mu Kivu hafi y’i Kalehe yahitanye abantu basaga 150, nyuma y’iyo mpanuka, Perezida Tshisekedi – wari umaze igihe gito atorewe manda ya mbere yasuye aka gace.
Tshisekedi yinubiye ko abantu batikiye kuko bari mu bwato ari benshi kandi batambaye ‘gilets’ zituma umuntu atarohama. Aho, yatanze ‘gilets’ 1,000 z’abagenzi mu mato yo mu Kivu, anasaba amato yose gushaka utu twenda dushobora kurokora ubuzima bw’abantu mu mpanuka.
