UN estimates 323,000 people fled fighting in DR Congo’s South Kivu in four days

Situation Overview

On 11 November, the UN humanitarian office estimated that more than 323,000 people fled fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s South Kivu over the previous four days. The displacement followed an offensive by the Front for National Regeneration (FRN), a politico-military movement led by former president Joseph Kabila and supported by Kigali, according to the report. The fighting has also led to the suspension of several humanitarian aid operations in the area. The next concrete development reported is the continuation of displacement figures and the status of suspended aid operations as the fighting persists.

Geopolitical Implications

1. 01

   Reported FRN offensive and Kigali support highlight cross-border political-military entanglement in eastern DR Congo.
