Par Jean-Marc Okito2 min de lectureEnglish

Masisi, North Kivu - After nearly a week of forced displacement following the occupation of Mahanga village (Nyamaboko 1 group, Masisi territory) by the AFC/M23 rebels, residents are gradually returning home. The return is driven by the harsh conditions and suffering endured in the forest, and includes families from nearby areas, such as Bitoi village.However, the process remains complex.
