Nduma Defense of Congo—Renovated (French: Nduma défense du Congo-Rénové) is a Congolese rebel group operating in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is a splinter faction of the Nduma Defense of Congo (NDC) and controls large parts of the North Kivu province, and has been a major participant of the Kivu conflict since its split from the NDC in 2014.
