Walikale: School reopening disrupted in several localities of Kisimba after clashes between AFC/M23 and FARDC

The 2026-2027 school year is significantly disrupted in several localities of Kisimba, North Kivu province, due to clashes between AFC/M23 rebels and FARDC. Many families have fled to Pinga and Kalembe, leaving their children without access to school. Host schools in Pinga face challenges in integrating displaced children, who often arrive without school supplies. Educational authorities encourage parents to enroll their children in refuge schools, but the educational future of these students remains uncertain.
