In recent weeks, the M23 rebel group's movement towards Goma, the largest city in eastern Congo, has led to the displacement of over 178,000 individuals, according to the United Nations. The rebels are closing in on Goma, situated on the border with Rwanda, raising concerns about the city's security.
The M23, known for its significant advances, recently seized the town of Minova, a crucial supply route for Goma. This development has heightened tensions in the region, which has been plagued by a long-standing conflict involving numerous armed groups competing for control over the area's abundant mineral resources.
