Protesters attack foreign embassies in Kinshasa as violence escalates in eastern Congo

Protesters in Kinshasa attacked several foreign embassies, including those of Rwanda, France, and Belgium, demanding condemnation of Rwanda's support for M23 rebels. This follows the rebels' reported capture of Goma, leading to a humanitarian crisis. In Goma, hospitals are overwhelmed as gunfire and shelling continue. U.N. officials reported bodies in the streets and significant displacement of residents. The situation has escalated, with reports of violence and looting by armed groups. Rwanda denies backing the M23 rebels but has troops in eastern Congo. The Congolese government is under pressure to address the conflict, with calls for peace talks and international support.
