 And while compared to other parts of the continent, the sound of gunfire has reached onto the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC. Fresh fights erupt on Friday between governments of forces and the M23 rebels. UN forces were also on the move, heading towards the frontline. The fighting prompted many locals to flee, and the displaced people say that they are now facing the prospects of hunger and the camps where they will stay as a wait for the fighting to subside. According to the United Nations, nearly 40,000 Congolese have been forced to flee in just one week.
