Nyiragongo Territory is a territory in North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]
Located in the territory is the town of Kibumba [fr], 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]
