actor1: M23: March 23 Movement
actor2: Military Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (2019-)
location: Jomba
notes: On 7 November 2021, presumed rebels of the M23 clashed against the FARDC and conquered several villages in the Jomba groupment (Rutshuru, Nord-Kivu), including Kikoro, Ndiza, and Kinyangurube. 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. Leaders of the M23 subsequently denied their involvement in the attack.
