Kenyan President William Ruto and current East African Community (EAC) Chairman released a statement regarding the ongoing siege of Goma in the DRC and announced a summit in the next 48 hours to "chart the way forward."
"The increasing deterioration of the peace and security situation in the DRC is of grave concern. The humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by ongoing military actions, including the closure of airspace over Goma. I call for an immediate and unconditional cessation of hostilities, stress the obligation of all parties to facilitate humanitarian access to affected populations and urge both parties to seek peaceful means to resolve this tragic conflict," he said.

Remember the days during the battle of Bakhmut when Deepstate's mapping was actually relatively accurate?

A lot of misinformation is being spread about Goma right now. There are claims of M23 forces patrolling the city. That is false, these are pro-government forces.
Additionally, the surrender of hundreds of possible government forces in the city centre does not mean that M23 has captured the city. They have simply given up fighting and laid down their arms to Uruguayan peacekeepers.

Gunfire can still be heard across most of Goma. It appears that the city has not fallen yet, despite claims by M23 that they captured it.

Map of approximate locations of explosions reported in Ukraine on January 26-27, 2025.
Notable events:
- An Iskander-M ballistic missile struck an open area
in Sumy Oblast
- Decrease in glide bomb strikes on Donetsk Oblast,
but one was reported on Kupyansk.
- Increase in glide bomb strikes on border areas of
Sumy Oblast.
- More Geran-2 drones targeted western regions of
Ukraine, primarily Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil and
Khmelnytskyi Oblasts. Power outages were
reported in Ivano-Frankivsk City.
This map does not include artillery shelling and MLRS related explosions, hence the lack of icons near the frontline.

Former Israeli national security minister Ben Gvir: "The reopening of the Netzarim road this morning and the entry of tens of thousands of Gazans into the northern Gaza Strip are images of victory for Hamas and an additional and humiliating part of the deal… This is what absolute surrender looks like, our soldiers did not sacrifice their lives to allow these images to appear.”
