The Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC) and allied M23 rebels launched a coordinated push into the Lubero territory on March 7, 2026. The offensive triggered the displacement of 28,000 people from the town of Kanyabayonga and surrounding areas. UN peacekeepers reported that the displaced moved toward Butembo and Beni, fleeing the advance of rebel units and the retreat of government forces through populated centers, as reported by Actualite.cd.
