Geneva, 12 February 2014
1. Brief description of the emergency and impact
The ongoing fighting between Ugandan ADF NALU rebels and the Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo ( FARDC) in Kamango region , since December 2013, has caused displacement and insecurity and has limited the populations’ access to their fields for food production. It is estimated that 7,343 households are displaced.
In contrast, in Ruchuru and Nyiragongo territories, there is remarkable movement of IDPs returning to their home villages from IDP camps, from Uganda and from Rwanda. It is estimated that 11,760 returnee households are still in Nobili and its outskirts.
