According to reports, the clashes that erupted on Sunday, September 7, 2025, saw AFC/M23 seizing Mafuo, Biholo, Shoa, Bwambaliro, Busoro, Kinyeere, Burora, and Ngesha villages—all located in Osso Banyungu sector.
Following their defeat, FARDC soldiers and Wazalendo fighters retreated to the localities of Kazinga and Mahanga, on the border between Masisi and Walikale territories.
Local media outlet Actualite reported that both FARDC and Wazalendo militias are regrouping in preparation for counteroffensives aimed at retaking the lost positions.
Although AFC/M23 currently controls much of Masisi’s administrative center, parts of the territory remain under government authority.
