President Emmanuel Macron is stepping up diplomatic efforts to address the worsening crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where violence between the Congolese army and M23 rebels has displaced hundreds of thousands. The rebels are reportedly supported by Rwandan forces, a claim Kigali denies.
Macron has held talks with leaders from the region, including Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi and Rwandan President Paul Kagame, urging dialogue to prevent further destabilisation.
