The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to face widespread displacement and humanitarian crises driven by conflict, natural disasters, and emerging health threats. In the Ituri province, residents have begun a gradual return to the Bule area following clashes between the FARDC and the Convention pour la révolution populaire (CRP) militia, though they face destroyed property and explosive threats. Meanwhile, Congolese refugees in Burundi’s Busuma camp report severe shortages of food, shelter, and financial aid. Further displacement has been recorded across Tanganyika, Maniema, and Haut-Uélé. In Haut-Uélé, approximately 9,000 people fled the Malamba and Betongwe chiefdoms, while 10,000 people in the Watsa and Wamba territories have endured dire conditions due to ADF rebel attacks. In North Kivu, intensified fighting between AFC/M23 rebels and Wazalendo forces in Masisi has forced families toward Kyumba and Langira in the Walikale territory, straining host communities. In Fizi territory, officials report that more than 240,000 people have been displaced due to ongoing armed conflict. Human rights concerns are escalating. United Nations officials have described the security situation in eastern provinces like North Kivu, South Kivu, and Ituri as ‘extremely alarming,’ documenting thousands of human rights violations and nearly 9,500 victims in 2026. Compounding these crises, an Ebola outbreak remains uncontrolled, with over 8,000 confirmed cases and 3,900 deaths reported. In response, Amnesty International has launched the ‘Six million voices for justice in Congo’ campaign to pressure authorities for mechanisms to prosecute international crimes. To address these issues, France has committed 1.3 million euros to improve legal access and reparations for victims of conflict-related sexual violence, while the DRC and Russia work to finalize judicial cooperation agreements. Additionally, the FRIVAO process announced an initial 120 million USD fund for collective reparations in the Greater Oriental region. Compounding these crises, an Ebola outbreak remains uncontrolled.
