Two people were killed on Saturday afternoon in violent clashes between two rival Wazalendo factions in the town of Sange, located in Uvira territory.
The confrontation pitted the Kamama faction against the Ngoma Nzito faction, according to local sources.
The altercation erupted around midday on November 22, 2025, quickly escalating into a deadly confrontation that left two individuals dead.
Tensions have reportedly been rising between the two groups, though the exact cause of the latest incident remains unclear.
Local authorities and community leaders have not yet issued an official statement, and details on what triggered the clash are still emerging.
Security observers say internal disputes and competition for influence among Wazalendo factions have periodically led to outbreaks of violence in the region.
