Rwandan-backed M23 rebels have pushed deeper into eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, taking control of two districts in South Kivu as they approach Bukavu. In response, President Felix Tshisekedi urged young Congolese to join the army to counter the rebel threat following the fall of Goma, where the Congolese army faced significant losses. The escalating violence has drawn international concern, with calls on Rwanda to cease its involvement, and raised fears of wider instability in the Great Lakes region of Africa.
The M23 group, backed by Rwandan troops, has made significant territorial gains in eastern DRC, prompting Congolese President Tshisekedi to call for military enlistment.
Tshisekedi criticized international inaction amid escalating violence in eastern DRC, which poses a risk of broader conflict in the Great Lakes region.
