New evidence, including captured drones and military kit, points to direct Rwandan state support for M23 rebels in eastern Congo, raising questions about foreign complicity in the region’s escalating conflict.

As Rwanda-backed M23 rebels seize Goma, the Democratic Republic of the Congo teeters on the edge of another devastating war, driven by ethnic tensions, resource exploitation, and international inaction.

On May 4th, twin shell blasts killed at least 12 civilians and injured 20 others in the Lac Vert and Mugunga camps near Goma, with the Congolese army blaming the M23 rebel group, which has denied involvement and accused Congolese forces.
