UNHCR Eastern DRC Flash Update Uganda, 17 - 23 March 2025

Attachments

Since January, Uganda has seen 31,313 new arrivals following increased violence in eastern DRC in December 2024. Planned peace talks in Luanda, Angola failed due to EU sanctions on some M23 leaders and Rwandan officials. Last week, M23 captured Walikale territory but have indicated that they would withdraw. However, as of yesterday, they were reportedly still in the area. On 18 March, the State of Qatar convened a trilateral meeting between President Kagame of Rwanda and President Tshisekedi of the DRC, where they reaffirmed their collective commitment to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
