Masisi-Walikale: Between Calm and Tensions, the Security Situation Remains Concerning

The security situation in the territories of Masisi and Walikale in North Kivu is volatile following clashes between the AFC/M23 rebels and the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC). Troop movements and gunfire have been reported, particularly on the Burora hill. Despite a relative calm observed in some areas, the resumption of fighting has led to new population displacements, highlighting the precariousness of the return of displaced persons. In the neighboring territory of Walikale, the situation remains relatively calm on several fronts.
