UN Demands Rwanda End Support for M23 as Crisis Deepens
M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda’s military, have rapidly advanced across eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), capturing key cities like Bukavu and Goma and displacing over 50,000 people.
The United Nations (UN) Security Council has, for the first time, directly condemned Rwanda for supporting M23 and demanded an immediate withdrawal.
The European Union and the United States have also pressured Kigali to halt its involvement.
Today the @UN Security Council has passed a resolution calling on M23 to cease hostilities in DRC.
Rwanda Defence Forces should cease their support for M23 and withdraw from the DRC immediately.
