Rwanda has bolstered its military presence along the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to support M23 rebels in their offensive against the city of Goma. Intelligence reports reveal that Rwandan Defence Force soldiers have crossed the border and are involved in intense clashes on the outskirts of the city. The situation is dire, with reports of peacekeeper casualties and the frontline dangerously close to Goma. This escalation comes ahead of an emergency UN Security Council meeting to address the crisis, putting pressure on international responses to regional instability.
Large numbers of Rwandan troops are reportedly crossing into the DRC to support M23 rebels, pushing towards Goma before an emergency UN meeting.
The Rwandan Defence Force has amassed troops at the border ready for possible invasion, escalating tensions in the region.
The situation in Goma remains precarious as fierce clashes continue between M23 militia and the Congolese army, with UN involvement imminent.
Despite the challenges, Goma's defenses are currently holding, but the urgency for Rwanda to take control is clear before UN Security Council discussions.
