🇨🇩 Goma Falls: M23 Rebels Take Control of Eastern Congo’s Key City

In a dramatic escalation of one of Africa's longest-running conflicts, M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, have announced the capture of Goma, the largest city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The takeover follows intense fighting and a 48-hour ultimatum issued to the Congolese army.

The humanitarian crisis is deepening as Goma’s 2 million residents face mass panic. The UN reports rebels are using civilians as human shields while thousands flee. Over a third of North Kivu’s population is already displaced, and the situation is expected to worsen.

The international community, including the UN, US, and France, has called for a ceasefire and urged Rwanda to withdraw its support for M23. Congo has severed diplomatic ties with Rwanda, accusing it of fueling the rebellion.
