Congo fighting: Violence intensifies in north Kivu province


Fighting between government forces and M23 rebels has intensified in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Battles are taking place around the town of Sake, near the Rwanda border. Most of those injured have been transferred to the nearby provincial capital, Goma. Health workers there say they are overwhelmed.

  1. The world greed for critical but "cheaply" obtained Conflict Minerals knows no bounds of reason, decency or righteousness! Wars and refugees, pain and trauma, loss of homes, family and a the absence of a place to live in peace or call home or to farm, is in the atmosphere of the dark realms of eastern DRC Conflict Mineral regions. The Church and the Gospel of Peace had fled. God had withdrawn from this dark and hardened heart of Africa!

  2. The story of ethnicities is for rwanda and burundi. So they should stop filling our hearts with such claims of hatred. We know that Rwanda want to fill out hearts with such ethnicities matter. Congo recognizes tribes not ethinicity. In congo we have more than 200 tribes ,why are these M23 tribe to be given more care than other congolese and how many are them. Even by doing election they know that they are not going to win,we are more than 150 million of population and in that number how many are them ,imagine if all tribes engage in such illegal activities because we are not recognized and mistreated by government. We welcomed these people in 1954 and some came in 1996 while they were removing Mobutu in power and now they are claiming that they want to lead our country. Stop stealing ,raping and killing congolese. You are our brothers and sisters ,remember the kindness congolese have than to you. Congo is multi culture and diverse tribes stop filling our hearts with ethnicity issues.

  3. If kenyan soldiers were still there, this wouldn't have happened.. Kenyans acted as a deterrent to prevent rwandan backed m23 from attacking.. since Rwanda is afraid of severing relations with the east African super power

  4. To anybody reading this post, please do not let yourself being fooled : The UN , the USA and western powers are looting mineral ressources from the eastern part of the DRCongo. They are backing Rwanda to create instabilities and atrocities; killing men , children, raping women in the meantime they are stealing whatever the want since those territories are not controlled by the government….. for the past 30 years, over 18 million people killed.

  5. reading is fundamental especially on a sensitive topic. The difference is that those other countries successfully embraced their then new citizens after the new borders were traced by the Berlin conference, It was never the case in the Congo all the harassment and injustice done to the Congolese Rwandophone population birthed this war the M23 is waging now. Can’t be mad at the people who refused to be slaughtered like sheep by their own government.

  6. ONU = USA 🇺🇸 = France 🇫🇷 = Rwanda 🇷🇼 = M23. La RDCongo est victime d'une hypocrisie internationale á grande echelle. Le Rwanda ne peut pas faire face a la RDCongo de meme que l'Ukraine ne pas faire face a la Russie 🇷🇺 a elle seule (OTAN)…. J'espere que vous avez compris. Merci
