Mount Hehu

Mount Hehu (French: Mont Hehu) are large hills located in the Buhumba groupement (grouoing) within the Bukumu Chiefdom of the Nyiragongo Territory in the North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Standing at an elevation of 2,430 meters, Mount Hehu is situated near Hibumba and Bungeshi Mukuru villages on the border of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Since the advent of M23 in 2013, Mount Hehu has been ravaged by paramilitary groups, insurgent forces, and ever-changing conflict hotspots in the region. Due to insurgent attacks, starvation, unemployment, many have evacuated their communities and sought refuge in Kanyaruchinya and Gasizi villages.
