Intensifying Conflict in DR Congo as M23 Rebels Capture Goma
Fighting continues to escalate in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, with the M23 rebel group claiming control of the city of Goma following intense clashes that have resulted in over 700 deaths in just a few days. The UN has raised alarms about the deteriorating humanitarian crisis, with reports of bodies piling up in hospitals and hundreds of thousands displaced. The Congolese army, supported by international forces, is struggling to combat the Rwanda-backed rebels, who are advancing towards other key cities. As the violence unfolds, the global community faces growing questions about foreign involvement, humanitarian access, and the potential for a broader regional conflict.
