The city of Bukavu experienced widespread panic over the weekend as thousands of residents and soldiers fled in anticipation of an impending assault by Rwandan-backed M23 rebels. Following the rebels' entry to the outskirts, looting surged, with many residents attempting to escape while business activities halted. Despite the chaos, M23 had not yet taken full control of the city. Witnesses reported horrific scenes, including corpses in the streets and looting incidents involving both civilians and soldiers, raising concerns about safety and order in the city.
We're no longer waiting for the crackling of bullets as we were during the day.
It's a disgrace. Some citizens have fallen victim to stray bullets.
