In eastern DRC, the army announced it had recaptured the town of Ngungu from M23 rebels amid heavy fighting. The conflict, marked by failed UN peacekeeping efforts, has displaced millions, with families fleeing violence and artillery attacks. The military aims to end rebel ceasefire violations, while NGOs struggle to provide aid, with many civilians eating only once a day. Residents fear further violence as gunfire continues nearby. The government remains determined to push back M23, despite the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The fighting highlights the long-standing instability in the resource-rich region.
Al Jazeera’s Alain Uaykani reports from the town of Ngungu, the Democratic Republic of Congo.
