DRCONGO-UNREST-CONFLICT-DISPLACED

This aerial photograph taken on December 21, 2021 shows the Rhoo IDP camp, 60 kilometers from Bunia, the provincial capital of Ituri in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Since late November, several villages and IDP camps have been attacked and nearly 100 people have been killed in the area, forcing up to 70,000 people to gather on the Rhoo hill around a base of Bangladeshi peacekeepers from Monusco, the United Nations mission in the DRC. For the past two years, thousands of armed men in the Ituri hills have been attacking villages, IDP camps and military positions in the name of the Cooperative for the Development of Congo, Codeco, an armed group structured around a religious sect. They claim to be defending the interests of the Lendu tribe against the army and the Hema tribe. (Photo by ALEXIS HUGUET / AFP) (Photo by ALEXIS HUGUET/AFP via Getty Images)
