Nyiragongo Territory is a territory in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]
Located in the territory is the town of Kibumba, which is about 20 km north of Goma along the N2 road. In November 2022, the town was taken over by M23, with a large number of residents fleeing the fighting.[2] M23 retreated from Kibumba on December 23 as part of the Angolan peace agreement.[3]
It is bordered by Goma to the south, Masisi Territory to the west, Rutshuru Territory to the north, and Rwanda to the east.
In November 2022, 8 deaths were reported in the Rutshuru IDP sites in Nyiragongo territory, North Kivu. Of these victims, a 44-year-old woman and seven children died at Kanyaruchinya Health Center and CBCA Ndosho Hospital.[4]
