Most shops have already run out of Goma cheese. Eventually I found some at Saint Jacob on Bukavu's main street. But it cost fifty percent more than a week ago. The cheese from North Kivu is popular all over Congo and is produced in the Masisi area, exactly the region that Laurent Nkunda and his rebel army overtook. Since the growing violence the export from there has come to a halt and the cheese is running scarce. Being Dutch I didn't want to take a chance and I immediately bought two pieces. Because what kind of breakfast can you have without bread and cheese?
