During the North Kivu military governor’s visit to Kyavinyonge on November 3, civil society representatives raised concerns about the arrests of farmers near Virunga National Park and fishers on Lake Edward, as well as tensions with the Congolese Institute for Nature Conservation (ICCN). The governor instructed ICCN officials to hold discussions with the local security committee and community representatives to seek lasting solutions. Residents also called for projects to improve access to drinking water. Civil society says no Ebola cases have been reported in Kyavinyonge.
