More than 100 armed groups are active in conflicts over political power, territory, and resources in the DRC. The March 23 Movement is a prominent group within North and South Kivu, while the Allied Democratic Forces are moving into new areas and engaging in high levels of civilian targeting. Other armed groups also exploit the weakened Congolese military to expand into other areas, intensify local disputes, and facilitate the emergence of new militias.
