Ongoing fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is forcing civilians south into Tanganyika province, where camps near Kalemie are housing hundreds of thousands of displaced people in harsh conditions. The article says nearly 100,000 displaced civilians arrived in Tanganyika between November 2025 and February 2026 during an M23 offensive around Uvira, and that violence has continued more than a year after a U.S.-mediated peace accord between the DRC and Rwanda.
Why it matters: The story tracks a large internal displacement crisis tied to regional conflict and failed peace efforts, affecting access to shelter, water and aid for civilians. It also matters because renewed displacement can strain local services and shape wider refugee and regional migration pressures.
