Map of the focus of the conflict in Congo

In the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, over 100 armed groups are fighting for control of the region's rich mineral resources, with ethnic tensions and weak state control as a backdrop.

This complex dynamic contributes to long-standing conflicts in the region.
