In late April, two opposing armed groups staged a series of attacks in eastern DRC, leaving at least 69 dead and prompting an intervention by MONUSCO, the UN’s peacekeeping force in the region. These groups are just two among an estimated 120 armed actors currently operating in the region. But what drives such a fragmented picture? To answer this question, we spoke to some of our expert investigators for insights into the complex array of belligerents in eastern DRC.

Eastern DRC’s abundant natural resources and the habitats that host them are just one of the many victims of the ongoing conflict.

Read the article in full to find out more about the relationship between armed conflict in eastern DRC and the region’s resources.

As Israel's evacuation zone expands northward into Lebanese territory, CIR has documented strikes landing inside it and troops advancing deeper. With over 1 million self-reported IDPs and 133,492 IDPs in collective shelters as of 18 March 2026, the reality on the ground appears to increasingly diverge from evacuation orders.

Since the start of the Syrian revolution in 2011, mines have killed thousands of Syrians and injured thousands more.
