actor2: Military Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (2019-)
location: Runyonyi
notes: On 7 November 2021, presumed M23 rebels clashed against the FARDC and conquered Runyonyi (Rutshuru, Nord-Kivu), as well as other villages, including Kikoro, Ndiza, Kinyangurube, Tshanzu/Chanzu (coded as other events). The clashes took place during two days, 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. Leaders of the M23 subsequently denied their involvement in the attack.
