In the tormented landscapes of North Kivu, in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, an outbreak of deadly violence is shaking the region, plunging residents into a massive humanitarian crisis. The attacks perpetrated by members of the March 23 Movement (M23), supported by Rwanda, caused an influx of displaced people fleeing the conflicts towards the city of Goma.
The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the intensification of fighting and the use of heavy artillery, endangering civilian populations. The US State Department publicly condemned Rwanda’s involvement in supporting the M23, demanding the withdrawal of its armed forces from Congolese territory.
The reactions were not long in coming, with France joining the United States in firmly condemning the aggression of the M23 and the military support of Rwanda. As fighting intensifies around Goma, thousands of people are fleeing the violence to seek refuge in the city, creating a humanitarian situation that is both worrying and urgent.
In this time of conflict and suffering, it is essential to stay informed on the situation in the North Kivu region and to support initiatives aimed at ending the violence and protecting civilian populations.
