M23 and Rwandan forces launch new offensive in eastern DR Congo
M23 and Rwandan forces have launched a new offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, capturing the mining town of Nyabibwe. This follows their recent capture of Goma, despite a declared humanitarian ceasefire. Clashes erupted between M23, Rwandan troops, and Congolese forces, contradicting the ceasefire claims. The situation has escalated tensions in the region, with fears of a wider conflict prompting diplomatic efforts from various countries and organizations. Leaders from the DRC and Rwanda are set to meet at a summit in Tanzania. Meanwhile, neighboring countries are increasing their military readiness in response to the ongoing crisis.
