The conflict in the DRC has resulted in a massive displacement of people, with over 4.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) and more than 200,000 refugees in neighbouring countries.

The violence has sparked widespread fear and uncertainty among the population, with many forced to flee their homes in search of safety.

Musahada Babunga Bienfait a motor conducter told AFP "At the level of Dar es Salaam, there will be no solution. I am convinced that there won't be given that he hasn’t left. He had to confront directly with, so, Paul Kagame, the Rwandan president, because he is the real enemy of the DRC. The Congolese who are at the level of North Kivu, those who are in South Kivu fighting are just pawns, but the real enemy of our country is really Rwanda."
