Clashes in Ituri's Fataki region cause renewed displacement
In late April 2026, intense clashes erupted near Bule and Fataki in Ituri province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The renewed fighting between armed groups and the FARDC forced communities to abandon their homes. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported that this major ground offensive displaced an estimated 10,000 people who fled toward makeshift camps like Plaine Savo, where they face catastrophic living conditions.
