Massacres have been reported in the village during the Battle of Geneina.[2] As of May 2023, there are numerous reports discussing the flight of refugees from Konga Haraza due to fighting and violence in the region.[3] The conflict in Darfur led to a humanitarian crisis, with many fleeing their homes in search of safety and stability in neighbouring areas. Reports indicate that Konga Haraza witnessed attacks by Rapid Support Forces and Arab militias, contributing to the displacement of its residents and the influx of refugees into other regions.[4][5]
