Part 5/9:
Fast forward to late January 2025, the conflict in eastern Congo reignited with M23 rebels seizing Goma amid claims of Rwandan military support. These developments have led to significant fallout, including violence resulting in the deaths of peacekeepers and widespread displacement of civilians. President Félix Tshisekedi has accused Rwanda of direct military involvement, further inflaming tensions.
As fighting escalated, South Africa, an ally of Congo, warned Rwanda against further military action against its forces, highlighting the extensive geopolitical implications of this confrontation. In response to the involvement of Rwandan troops alongside M23 rebels, President Tshisekedi mobilized Congolese forces, indicating a potential escalation into a full-scale war.
