What’s at stake in the DR Congo conflict with M23 rebels and Rwanda?

Redi Tlhabi examines the DRC’s ongoing conflict and its potential effects on regional stability.

Political instabilities, armed conflict, and humanitarian crises have plagued the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for several decades. At least 7, 000 people have been killed and millions have been displaced in the country due to a resurgence of violence in recent months.

Goma, a city in a strategic, mineral-rich province, was under the control of M23 rebels, an armed group supported by Rwanda.

Paul Kagame, the president of Rwanda, has denied involvement in the conflict.

What does the DRC have in store for them then? Will the conflict between Rwanda and the DRC ever come to an end?
