The Kivu Security Barometer, has said that 19 civilians were at the end of August in Beni, North Kivu, and at least 80 murdered since July. The non-governmental organisation just confirmed what the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said in a newsletter released on August 23, of a “continuing deterioration” of the situation in Beni.

The insecurity has spread across the border into Uganda where machete-wielding men are alleged to have killed close to 30 people in less than two weeks in the central districts.
