The Democratic Republic of Congo is experiencing surging violence, particularly in the eastern region where M23 rebels backed by Rwanda have taken Goma, a pivotal city for the country. This unrest is compounded by a massive prison breakout of over 4,000 inmates. Protests targeting several embassies reflect the public's demand for international pressure on Rwanda regarding its involvement in the DRC conflict. With a long history of violence driven by competition over rich natural resources and internal conflicts, the DRC remains deeply troubled, with millions internally displaced and human rights violations prevalent.
The volatile situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo has a long history, with armed conflicts displacing over 7 million people and extending for more than 30 years.
The M23 rebel group, supported by Rwandan soldiers, has taken control of Goma, exacerbating fears of large-scale instability in the country.
