Rwanda's Role in Congo's Escalating Conflict Draws Global Scrutiny

Evidence links Rwanda to supporting M23 rebels in eastern Congo, as international leaders call for a ceasefire and long-term solutions remain elusive.

The M23 rebel group, reportedly backed by Rwanda, has captured Goma and threatens to advance further into Congo, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame denies involvement despite UN reports indicating the presence of 4,000 Rwandan troops in Congo and their support for M23.
The conflict is fueled by Rwanda's alleged exploitation of Congo's vast mineral resources, including cobalt and gold, critical to global industries.
International responses, including calls for ceasefires and limited sanctions, have so far failed to address the root causes or halt the violence effectively.
Regional tensions are rising as neighboring countries, including Uganda and Burundi, deploy troops to eastern Congo, complicating efforts for peace.
