CHRISTMAS GIFT TO IDPS IN EASTERN DRC

CHRISTMAS GIFT TO IDPS IN EASTERN DRC

This year’s Christmas Day was a blessing to hundreds of IDPs after a resettlement exercise was conducted in Kibumba on Sunday, 25 December 22.

The exercise was a collective effort with local leaders supported by the Kenyan Contingent under the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) that deployed in the area on 23rd December 2022, following the withdrawal of M23 in line with the Luanda mini-summit communiqué of 23rd November 2022.

The local elders supported by EACRF troops coordinated a systematic return of the IDPs, mostly from the Kinyaruchinya IDP camp, in the outskirts of Goma town, and established focal points through the ‘Nyumba Kumi’ system for collective efforts towards peace and stability in Eastern DRC.

EACRF appeals to the humanitarian agencies to extend their support to the local population in the ongoing efforts.
