The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is experiencing a significant resurgence of violence as Rwandan-backed M23 rebels have captured key airports, including Kavumu Airport near Bukavu, amid a rapid southern advance. Reports indicate that nearly 3,000 people have been killed in the ongoing conflict which has led to mass displacement, with thousands fleeing from Goma camps as fighting reignites. Congolese church leaders are urgently meeting with rebel factions and Bishops have called for a ceasefire and dialogue, emphasizing human dignity in the face of escalating humanitarian crisis. Pressure mounts internationally as European lawmakers advocate for a freeze on aid to Rwanda, tying the situation in East Congo to wider geopolitical tensions. The M23 offensive appears to overshadow recent efforts for peace, with fears growing that the conflict could spiral into a broader regional war.
