How to end the conflict in eastern DRC?
Two towns in North Kivu province are under the control of M23 rebels.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)’s eastern region has been at war for more than 30 years.
Numerous armed organizations that are active in the area have had an impact on millions of people’s lives.
The March 23 Movement (M23), which is widely believed to be supported by neighboring Rwanda, is one of the most prominent among them, which the Rwandan government has refuted.
And recently, M23 fighters have increased their offensive. They’ve captured two towns in recent days and are believed to be just 80km (50 miles) away from Goma, the capital of North Kivu province.
Will regional leaders be able to broker compromise in order to put an end to this conflict, then?
