OVERVIEW
Clashes between non-state armed groups continue to be reported in numerous locations across Rutshuru and Masisi territories. The Grand Nord region of North Kivu Province continues to see violence and human rights violations.
Repeated incursions by non-state armed groups operating more and more extensively in the region are continuing to drive up reports of killings, kidnappings and extorsion. Mapping the needs remains a challenge due to heavily restricted access.
Diplomatic dialogue engaging Heads of State and Government at various summits has focused on the crisis in eastern DRC. In Luanda, Angola, the quadripartite summit of SADC, EAC, CIRGL and ECCAS on the security situation ended on Tuesday June 27. Initiated by the African Union, the summit aims to improve coordination of regional peace efforts and initiatives, involving both political and military aspects. In the final statement issued at the closure of proceedings, the summit welcomed achievements of the political, military, humanitarian and socio-economic processes undertaken to date by the various stakeholders to resolve the numerous challenges facing eastern DRC.
Peace efforts and collaborations within the region remain crucial to finding a resolution to the violence across DRC’s eastern provinces, where as many as 2.8 million have been forcibly displaced since March 2022. A system-wide scale up in the humanitarian response has been announced to tackle the multiplying risks faced by displaced populations.
