Clashes between the Teke and Yaka communities over a land dispute have displaced more than 48,000 people in Kwango, Kwilu, and Mai-Ndombe provinces since 24 July.
Key considerations: - More than 180 people have died since the violence began, although this figure is probably underestimated.
- At least 2,600 people from Mai-Ndombe have found refuge in the Republic of Congo, but this number is likely underestimated.
- During the clashes, dozens of houses, livelihoods, and granaries have been burnt.
- The clashes started in Mai-Ndombe province before spreading to Kwilu province and are likely to spread to other provinces, such as Kwango, which host many people already displaced as a result of this crisis.
- Insecurity and a lack of funding limit the humanitarian presence in areas affected by intercommunal violence.
