(250512) -- SAKE, May 12, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Residents transport sugarcane at a local market in Sake, a small town located 27 kilometers from Goma, the capital city of North Kivu province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), on May 11, 2025.

Many residents of Sake were forced to flee their homes due to attacks by the rebel group known as M23. Though life is gradually returning to normal as they return home, they now face significant challenges such as damaged infrastructure and shortages of basic supplies. (Xinhua/Zheng Yangzi)
