Gunfire erupts in Goma as Kenya seeks peace talks between DR Congo and Rwanda

Gunfire erupted in Goma, DR Congo, as the government accused Rwanda of sending more troops to support the M23 rebel group. This escalation follows ongoing violence in the region, which has lasted for over three decades. Kenya announced that the leaders of DR Congo and Rwanda will meet in the next two days to discuss the crisis. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting, with DR Congo calling for sanctions against Rwanda for its military support of the M23. Both countries have withdrawn their diplomats amid rising tensions. The M23 has made significant advances towards Goma, leading to the deaths of several peacekeepers in recent clashes.
