M23 presence

Each red dot represents a violent action by the March 23 Movement (M23) in the DRC. The dots cluster around Goma, north of Lake Kivu, and around Bukavu, with sparser events towards Butembo, Kirumba, Uvira and Baraka. The background combines shaded relief and lake bathymetry, with DRC province boundaries shown as dotted lines. Countries supporting the M23 are flagged by an underlined name, such as Rwanda. A locator globe places the area in central Africa. The map shows where actions took place, but not their nature or severity.
