THOUSANDS FLEE M23 RESURGENCE IN GOMA.
East DRC is witnessing a mass exodus, amid fears the M23 rebels will capture the region’s biggest city, Goma. In the last few days, thousands have abandoned their homes and fled, while rockets have been raining down on the city’s outskirts. The Congolese army appears to be on the back foot but the government has vowed it will hold the city.
M23 - allegedly armed by Rwanda (something Kigali strongly denies) - has been making gains recently in the country’s mineral-rich provinces of North and South Kivu. The conflict, decades old, has seen over a million Congolese leave the country, and over 7 million internally displaced - in the grip of a humanitarian disaster.
It’s feared the intensifying conflict could draw in neighbouring countries in the Great Lakes region if the violence is not decisively quelled fast.
A MOVING PLEA FROM CONGO’S CHILDREN.
Children should never have to plea for their lives. But in DRC, they are being killed, maimed, dangerously exploited, and denied real childhoods and futures.
So the children of DRC are pleading with the world. To stop swindling the country of its mineral wealth, to stop aggravating the genocidal conflict there, to stop sending children and their parents into dangerous mines for a pittance, to stop ignoring the humanitarian crisis affecting millions.
In this moving video, they ask the simple question - what did we do? Please share their massage. Thank you.
