Conflict in Congo: M23 rebels, aided by Rwanda, displace a million people. Foreign forces, injured civilians, and UN criticism. The conflict, which began in the 1990s, has escalated in recent weeks as M23 rebels closed in on the provincial capital of Goma, killing dozens and injuring many more. Congo’s minerals, particularly coltan, have made…

I WARN RWANDA AND DRC STOP KILLING MY PEOPLE FOR THEIR WEALTH I WARN ALL THE NATIONS THAT ARE PROMOTING THIS EVIL I WARN UNITED NATIONS TO END THIS CRUEL FOR MY PEOPLE STOP END THE WAR NOW
A pergunta continua…..quem ta vendendo essas armas pra eles?
E made in usa, Rússia, China ou União europeia?
Good, concise news summary! Why can I as a Pastor with DRC church referral letters since 2007, not get to Kisangani? No flights! No road access via Bukavu, or Mbararra in Uganda? Africa likes to cry, beg and lament, but seems to commit socio-economic suicide, while churches fleece the already empoverished and traumatised flocks in the DRC! Is Africa the bread basket or plunder basket of the world?
Let Angolan soldiers act so that they can defeated this rubbish Rwandan forces because kagame has been blinded by the western.
Black man from America. I’m on the side that isn’t backed by UN, USA, or any other western country. Yes I do use tech but I’m try not to obsessed with getting a new phone and new tv or laptop every year. I know that’s not enough but I also know cobalt has a lot to do with it
This ongoing abuse receives little attention in western media. One must not raise attention when there's money to be made.
The M23 is located in North Kivu, which represents 1 of Congo's 26 provinces. Who is stealing minerals from the other 25 provinces of the Congo?
Stop now all of you please answer this. I read somewhere that Rwanda is the third largest exporter of Coltan with a total number of Coltan mines in Rwanda totalling zero. Where do they get it from? What props up the fast development in Rwanda?
May god help the people of Congo, I was just learning about the history of this nation and it’s been through a lot.
It is not Israel which started the WAR, but Hamas. Why did Hamas stsrt the war in the first place? Why are you scared to say that Hamas started the war? Is it because of your religious affiliation you say the war started on Oct. 7, as if the war started from a vacuum?
greed
Kagame should be taken to ICC
We are as bad as Trump, narcissistic and all about ourselves
We complain about inflation
Answer complain about price of gas

Sadc is fighting with people who want their rights and that is why they are fighting when they have nothing to lose.
M23 rebels are majorly formed by eastern congo tribes like Banyamulenge and all Kinyarwanda speaking tribes who have been victims of so much segregation and have been systematically ethnically cleansed just because they speak Kinyarwanda as their language. In the past they've been denationalised and have been called Rwandese yet they ended up under Congo's jurisdiction during the partition of Africa just like other crossboarder tribes. The rebels fighting the government want their people living in poor conditions in refugee camps across greatlakes and beyond to be resettled back in their lands but the government doesn't want. To understand their cause, u need to read more about the agreements they signed with the Congolese government in 2013 but the government didn't implement them thus justifying their fight. They're literally a people who are fighting for their own survival and genuine causes that need to be addressed as soon as possible but the world don't normally hear their side of the story.
(BOTH DICTATOR MUSEVEN IN UGANDA 🇺🇬 AND KAGAME IN RWANDA 🇷🇼 )) they want to build tutsi empire in east and Central Africa through Using their fellow Rwandees M23 .up to when KAGAME and his fellow Rwandee museven a out of power Congo people will stop dieing.
This is the weakness of DRC leadership, instead of taking care of their Peoples and country by thinking about civilisations. Their work is to make treats of betraying their peoples by endless wars. That's why their giving guns to every civilian(WAZALENDO) to kill each other. Shame to them
Total Lies, how come you chase someone in his homeland by pretending that he is a foreigner, who put the borders, if you want rwandaphone to go out of Congo give them their land let them go. Not mistreating them for nothing. Why FDRL(killers from Rwanda) is still there. Because is supported bya Goverment of DRC and UN. Stop that. And let media says the truth, who is mistreating who. Is not the goverment of DRC mistreating the Rwandaphone?
M23 is NOT advancing. Death's toll is very high among M23 and Rwandese army. more than 30 kilometers from Goma.
Paul Kagame is a Wolf in Sheep skin
M23=RDF
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 THANK YOU AL JAZEERA FOR REPORTING ON THE RWANDAN GENOCIDE OF CONGOLESE TRIBES. When the Rwandans committed genocide against their own people group, the Tutsi, these people fled into DRC and are now causing havoc as M23 and funded by Kagame. The proof of this is that, when the Europeans colonised Africa, they recorded all the tribes present within their captured territories. There is no record of Tutsi existing within Congolese territory prior to the Rwandan genocide. Now, funded by Kagame, these animals murder millions of innocent people, steal from Congolese mines and violate millions of vulnerable women. They have no soul. Rwanda's main export is gold yet, astonishingly, Rwanda has no major gold reserves. How can your biggest export be something you don't even have an abundant supply of? Because they steal their exports from Congolese mines captured by Rwandan M23 and funded by Kagame. Rwanda will kill millions more to fund their barren land. They are most famous for genocide and continue to enact it to this day. It is all they know. Thank you for shedding light on this and prayers to your own people who are also facing genocidal maniacs.
African presidents are not serious if all 53 countries send soldiers each country 3000 soldiers M23 will be a history
Bizarre that AlJazeera has seen M23 in Goma
Why us Africans? Where did we go wrong?😢
