EDITORIAL<\/strong><\/h1>\n

This week has seen an explosion of violence in North Kivu occasioning the influx of an estimated\u00a066,000 Congolese refugees<\/a>\u00a0into Uganda and a resultant humanitarian crisis that aid agencies are struggling to manage.
\nEarlier in the week Ugandan\u00a0ADF-Nalu rebels<\/a>, together with what has been identified as Somalian Al-Shabaab fighters, occupied the town of Kamange for 24 hours on Thursday to Friday, being later ousted by FARDC troops, who report finding the corpses of 9 civilian victims of killings perpetrated by the militias. By Sunday morning the ADF is said to have attacked MONUSCO forces and taken control of Kikingi, only to be dislodged by the FARDC after a one hour firefight. Areas under the control of these militia report killings and abductions, prompting mass displacement. The presence\u00a0Al-Shabaab<\/a>\u00a0has been confirmed in a UN report and it is rumoured that these fighters are being recruited by both the ADF and the M23.
\nHeavy fighting also resumed between the M23 and FARDC<\/a>\u00a0forces in Mutaho on Sunday, after the M23 reinforced its positions in this locality close to Goma with heavy artillery. MONUSC was subsequently reported to be on high alert for an attack on the provincial capital itself, though the rebels were reportedly dislodged from the city\u2019s northern suburbs the Congolese army. The M23 is said to retain control of Kibumba and Buhumba. By Monday, the Congolese government issued a statement claiming to have killed 120 rebels and lost 10 of its own troops. The M23 have claimed that the\u00a0Kampala talks<\/a>\u00a0have once again stalled and commentators highlight the significance of the talks to determining the extent to which violence in the east escalates.
\nWhilst in North Kivu, clashes with the ADF-Nalu, Al-Shabaab, M23 and Mai-Mai Shetani have been reported, in Province Orientale the Raia Mutomboki and Kifuafua Mai-Mai are aid to be occupying localities in Walikale. Meanwhile,\u00a0MONUSCO has reject claims by the Rwandan state<\/a>\u00a0that it and the Congolese army have been collaborating with the FDLR and engaged in the bombing of two villages in Rwanda\u2019s Rubavu district.
\nDespite continuing reports of abuses against civilians by all armed groups in the\u00a0Central African Republic<\/a>, President Djotodia claims to have restored security to the country.<\/p>\n
