E.DRC: M23 REBELS OFFENSIVES DISPLACES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
Today, on Different Perspectives, we discuss the humanitarian crisis in Eastern Congo, where the M23 rebel group captured Goma and Bukavu. Since the offensive began, more than 7,000 people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. The international community has urged Rwanda to end its support for the rebels and withdraw its troops, a claim Rwanda denies.
The crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo stems from its rich mineral resources and persistent political instability. Kambale Musavuli, a research analyst at the Center for Research on Congo-Kinshasa, highlights the need to address historical injustices and ensure accountability for violence to achieve lasting peace. Justice is both a legal and moral imperative that demands immediate action.
