The United Nations has accused the AFC/M23 of executions, forced recruitment, and widespread destruction in eastern DRC. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has again condemned the group’s actions.
In his latest report, released Thursday, October 2, Guterres states that over the past three months, the M23 backed by the Rwandan army, has continued to expand its operations in North Kivu’s Walikale and Masisi territories.
The report details heavy military operations in areas under the movement’s control, particularly targeting FDLR strongholds often presented as a justification for the crimes committed by Rwandan forces in the land of Lumumba.
As Kinshasa pushes for international recognition of the Congolese genocide allegedly carried out by the Kigali regime, Kenya an important economic partner may soon be expected to speak out against Rwanda’s role in the ongoing atrocities in the DRC.
