Tensions are escalating between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) following the advance of M23 rebel forces in recent weeks towards the city of Goma in eastern DRC.

Dozens have reportedly been killed in the assault and the United Nations has accused M23 of ‘indiscriminate bombing’. DRC President Felix Tshisekedi has accused the Paul Kagame-led Rwandan government of backing M23 to destabilize the country. Rwanda has described the situation in eastern DRC as a national security threat and vowed to defend itself.

    Whenever African rebel groups start fighting you can bet your ass that at least one of them is backed by Europe or Russia.

        Yep. And at least the US and France are involved. Probably Russia on the other side. Maybe China indirectly.
