Eastern DRC: conflict regions overview
 

Four interesting pictures at the bottom of this article showing a little of what is going on in eastern DRC, apparently. It gets confusing trying to follow individual news reports, so I thought it was useful for those considering going through the area or close to the borders to get a visual summary.

(best to use the bbc link below - each image has a short explanation there)

i see M23 is a lot smaller now....problem with these maps is it only take a month and everything can be upsidedown, east DRC is still a NONO for me...west was fine
