Congo forces clash with rebels in the city of Bukavu
Gunfire and explosions from heavy weapons erupted in Congo’s eastern city of Bukavu on Sunday, witnesses said.
According to the Democratic Republic of Congo army spokesman for South Kivu region, Dieudonne Kasereka, clashes had started after police came to disarm Colonel Abbas Kayonga, who was sacked from his post on Thursday.
Kayonga is a former rebel from a group that was successfully disarmed and integrated into the Congolese military.
“We are determined to arrest him and make him face justice,” Kasereka said.
The national electoral commission was expected to announce a date for the election to replace Kabila later on Sunday. Last month, it said the election cannot take place until April 2019, raising fears of an escalation in militia violence and civil disturbances.
U.S. envoy Nikki Haley, after meeting with president Kabila last month, said the vote must happen in 2018 or it will lose international support.
