South Kivu
Democratic Republic of the Congo
South Kivu connects to 3650 places across 13 topics through 73 Bunkabop connections, concentrated in governance, conflict, and natural environment. The region's ties to Rwanda and Uganda reflect its role as a focal point of the Second Congo War, when factions pursued Hutu refugees through its hills and plateaus. A UN human rights expert in 2007 described conditions in South Kivu as among the worst she had encountered. In 2024, researchers identified a novel mpox subgroup in Kamituga, extending its scientific reach.
