| Brief narrative |
After the establishment of a transitional government and the strengthening of international peacekeeping operations in June 2003, hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) returned home. However, armed groups continue to attack civilians and cause massdisplacement, particularly in the Kivu region in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The UN estimates that 1.6 million people remained displaced as of October 2005. Source: Global IDP Project, ‘Some 40 000 flee ongoing fighting every month’ [article on website], (1 Mar. 2006), http://www.internal-displacement.org
In 2023, as a result of an alarming resurgence of violence generated by armed groups, 5.8 million people are displaced across the provinces of Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu and Tanganyika, in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. | ||||||||
