Violence in eastern DRC: the United States raises its voice against the M23 and Rwanda. In a press release published on the night of Saturday to Sunday, February 18, Washington condemns the rebel group, judged responsible for the recent escalation of violence.
The fighting in the area has caused nearly thirty deaths, both military and civilian, since mid-January. At least 135,000 internally displaced people have had to flee to find a new refuge closer to Goma since the start of the month.
