The United States, US, has issued a strong call for Rwanda to withdraw its troops from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, and cease all support for the M23 rebel group. This demand follows mounting evidence, including United Nations, UN, reports, of Rwandan involvement in the conflict.

The M23, accused of systematic human rights abuses, has seized strategic territories, displacing over 1.2 million people and worsening the humanitarian crisis. The U.S. emphasizes the need for political solutions and renewed peace initiatives to prevent further escalation.

The conflict threatens to destabilize the region, with over 120 armed groups vying for control of mineral-rich areas. Regional diplomacy and international pressure are critical to addressing one of Africa’s most protracted crises.
