M23 conflict caused nearly 3 out of every 4 displacements in the DRC this year

In the first half of this year, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) experienced 2,741,000 internal displacements due to conflict and violence, the highest figure recorded for a six-month period since IDMC started its monitoring of the country in 2009. A new analysis of our data reveals that the conflict involving the March 23 non-state armed group caused more than 2 million, 73 per cent, of those displacements.
