Kigoma, Bafuliiru Chiefdom

Kigoma is one of the four groupement of the Bafuliiru Chiefdom of Uvira Territory, South Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The local economy largely depends on subsistence agriculture, livestock rearing, and petty trade. The Bafuliiru make up the majority of the population, alongside smaller groups of Bavira, Banyindu, Barundi, and Banyamulenge.

The groupement faces ongoing security issues due to the ongoing Kivu conflict involving multiple armed groups, which often results in repeated clashes and forced displacement of civilians.
