Over half a million people have reportedly been displaced by the battle raging between Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) security forces and M23 insurgents for control of Goma, a strategic city in the eastern Congo.
DRC Foreign Minister Therese Kayikwamba Wager said the “humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate” after M23 rebels launched a major offensive at the beginning of January.
On Monday, the rebels entered Goma, the capital of North Kivu province. Over a dozen peacekeepers working for MONUSCO, the U.N. peacekeeping mission to the Congo, were killed, along with government soldiers, allied militia fighters, and civilians.
This is what i'd like to know: Who is funding the rebels?
Both the U.N. and DRC officials confirmed Rwandan troops entered Goma along with the M23 insurgents on Monday. International observers also accuse Rwanda of arming and training the rebels, who are suspiciously well-equipped and disciplined for a band of extremists living in the far reaches of the Congo. Captured M23 rebels have said they were trained by Rwandan special forces officers.
