'M23 and RDF extending their territorial control' in DR Congo's North Kivu province • FRANCE 24

The UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo will pause its withdrawal, with no timeline set for the next phase following the initial one in June, the government and mission said. In September last year, President Felix Tshisekedi asked the mission to fast-track the withdrawal of peacekeepers who were deployed to the Central African country to quell insecurity caused by armed groups fighting over territory and resources. Some 3,000-4,000 Rwandan soldiers have been fighting alongside M23 rebels in east DR Congo, said a UN expert report. The North Kivu province has been in the grip of the M23 (March 23 Movement) rebellion since the end of 2021, with the group seizing swathes of territory in the region and installing a parallel regime in areas now under its control. As Congo UN peacekeepers hit pause on their withdrawal, François Picard is joined by Josaphat Musamba, Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Conflict and Development Studies at Ghent University.

    Why is congo and the rest of the world don't speak out the rootcauses of the war in the east of congo? M23 movement grievances that made them pick up arms should be addressed as soon as possible through any means necessary preferably with peacetalks ratherthan congo wasting resources on a war it can never win. There's no amount of force can ever defeat a people who are fighting for their own survival and genuine causes that need to be addressed.

    FYI: spoiler alert, Rwanda hasn't sent its military to DRC. Pushing this narrative is misleading everyone who listens to you. For about 70 years, these people were told to be Rwandans and still you are saying they are Rwandans, and trying to make everyone believe that!!! You are wrong, M23 wants peace to return to their region, and the right to citizenship as Congolese, the fault is to the colonials who drew the borders, you will never chase them from their home, no more. If you want to disturb the peace in Rwanda, it might not end well for you either.

They have to capture the minerals first since it is the fuel of Kincasa then they will have a strong negotiating power. Or they won’t even have to negotiate with anyone since those so called minerals are theirs and other fellow Congolese in the first place. If DRC would have protected m23 Rwanda would not be supporting it because there would be no reason for them to fight.
