The New York Times article included as a citation is irrelevant

The NYT article cited in this article ("In Congo, Wars Are Small and Chaos Is Endless") is discussing an entirely different conflict between the Luba people and a completely separate ethnic group (the Bambote people). It is referenced when discussing the outbreak of the Batwa-Luba clashes, despite detailing the outbreak of a different conflict. The article does not mention the Perci militia, and the conflict the article discusses broke out in 2014, not 2013. B0bb217 (talk) 04:43, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@B0bb217: Not so. The issue is the naming: A footnote in the article, cited to minorityrights.org, explains that the Batwa are regionally called Bambuti / Bambote (despite this being also the name of a different ethnic group). I will make this a bit clearer in the article. However, you are right that the Perci militia was mis-cited. Applodion (talk) 10:23, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
