The army of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been engaged in heavy fighting recently with the M23 rebel group. The group is fighting its most sustained offensive since a 2012-2013 insurrection that captured vast swathes of territory. The fighting has forced tens of thousands to flee their homes in a region that has had little respite from conflict.

In This Story: Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo, also known as Congo-Kinshasa, DR Congo, the DROC, or simply either Congo or the Congo, and historically Zaire, is a country in Central Africa. The capital is Kinshasa.
With a population of over 101 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most-populous officially Francophone country in the world.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is extremely rich in natural resources but has suffered from political instability. As of 2018, around 600,000 Congolese have fled to neighbouring countries from conflicts in the centre and east of the DRC. Two million children risk starvation, and the fighting has displaced 4.5 million people.
