5Democratic Republic of the Congo
Eastern areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo remain one of the world’s most unstable regions. Armed militias frequently clash with government forces, and tensions have intensified due to the resurgence of the M23 rebel group.Â
The conflict is fueled by ethnic tensions, competition for valuable natural resources, and involvement from neighboring countries. Millions of people have been displaced as fighting spreads across provinces such as North Kivu and Ituri.
