DRC: Several villages under tension in Masisi and Walikale due to intense fighting between the army and AFC/M23, control positions change with the offensives

The security situation is unstable in the territories of Masisi and Walikale, where fighting between AFC/M23 rebels and FARDC continues, causing population displacements. The Ufamandu 1st and Nyamaboko 1 groupings have been particularly affected, with residents fleeing to Walikale. The FARDC have regained control of several localities, but the situation around Ngungu remains strategic, while rebels maintain their positions in Malemo and advance towards Pinga.
