Der Konflikt im Herzen Afrikas droht zu eskalieren. Die berüchtigte M23-Miliz hat nach einer Blitzoffensive eine kongolesische Grenzstadt übernommen. Hilfe erhielt sie dabei aus dem Nachbarland Ruanda.
The M23 militia, supported by Rwanda, has captured Bukavu, a strategic city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The offensive, which began with a rapid advance, saw the militia take control of the city, with some residents welcoming them. The conflict has led to thousands of deaths and displaced over a million people since 2022. The UN and African Union have expressed concern over the escalation, with the UN calling for respect for the DRC's sovereignty. The DRC accuses Rwanda of backing the rebels and exploiting mineral resources, while Rwanda denies involvement beyond border defense.
