actor1: M23: March 23 Movement
actor2: Military Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (2019-)
location: Tshanzu
notes: On 7 November 2021, presumed rebels of the M23 clashed against the FARDC and conquered multiple villages in the territory of Rutshuru (Nord-Kivu), including the villages of Kikoro, Ndiza, Kinyangurube, Runyoni/Tunyoni, and Tshanzu/Chanzu (Rutshuru, Nord-Kivu). The clashes took place during two days (coded as another event), during which 5,000-10,000 people (mainly women/children) were displaced, including to Uganda. Casualties are unknown. Sources suggest the attack was launched in an attempt to negotiate the amnesty of a few leaders who are detained by the government. The M23 subsequently denied their involvement in the attack.
