In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the M23 insurgents backed by Rwanda are advancing rapidly in the eastern region, resulting in chaos, looting, and attacks on civilians, including hospitals. Thousands of people have fled to Burundi amidst these attacks. Kambale Musavuli, a Congolese human rights advocate, emphasizes how the demand from Western nations for the Congo's minerals continues to fuel violence, pointing out their unwillingness to take action against Rwandan leadership, which contributes to the suffering of millions of Congolese citizens.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the advance of Rwanda-backed M23 insurgents, who have already taken two key cities in the mineral-rich eastern part of the country, is triggering panic.
Thousands of people have fled to neighboring Burundi over the last few days as the U.N. accused M23 of killing children and attacking hospitals.
Musavuli states that Western countries' ongoing demand for Congo's minerals and their complicity in the deadly violence is disheartening, as it indicates a disregard for Congolese lives.
Musavuli expresses disappointment over the refusal of industrial nations and celebrated Western personalities to sever ties with Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame, illustrating their indifference toward the suffering in Congo.
