Ceasefire collapses in DRC

We explain what the fighting is about and hear from people in the region.

A ceasefire appears to be collapsing in the Democratic Republic of Congo following the resumption of fighting and reports of a massacre.

Thousands of people are fleeing fighting between the rebels, government forces and allied militias in different parts of North Kivu province.
