Silent war: Decades of human suffering in DRC

As of 2023, the Democratic Republic of Congo is home to an estimated population of approximately 6.9 million internally displaced people, according to the United Nations. 

Experts say persistent intercommunal conflicts and ongoing military operations are the major factors for extensive and recurrent displacements, notably in the nation’s eastern region.  

A Silent War tells the stories of a few individuals, among millions, who have been internally displaced due to ongoing inter-communal militia attacks and military operations, highlighting the particularly tragic outcomes for women and children.
