France pushes for UN resolution to identify Rwanda as supporter of M23 rebels in DRC

France is pushing for a UN resolution to officially name Rwanda as a supporter of the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). UN officials report that up to 4,000 Rwandan troops are aiding the rebels, who recently seized parts of Goma. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called for Rwandan forces to withdraw from the DRC. While the UN security council discussed the situation, it did not explicitly name Rwanda in its statements, despite acknowledging the presence of Rwandan troops. Kenyan President William Ruto is organizing an East African Community summit to address the crisis. Meanwhile, DRC officials are calling for sanctions against Rwanda, accusing it of economic exploitation and aggression. Rwandan diplomats deny these claims, stating their presence is to protect the Congolese Tutsi community.
