Rwanda, the West's Donor Darling,' Seizes an Opportunity in Congo
Briefly

The recent capture of Goma by the M23 rebel group, allegedly supported by Rwanda, has reignited concerns over the humanitarian and political situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While international criticism has been voiced, no substantial action has been taken against Rwanda, contrasting with responses from a decade ago. The ongoing violence has forced countless civilians to flee, amplifying the urgency of the situation. Analysts suggest Rwanda's motives include territorial expansion and exploitation of mineral resources, cloaked in rhetoric of ethnic defense.
The current situation in Goma reflects a failure to apply pressure against Rwanda, risking further escalation of violence and instability in the region.
Rwanda's involvement in the DRC is driven by a desire to seize land and resources, masqueraded under the guise of defense for the minority Tutsi population.
