Recent reports from the United Nations indicate that nearly 3,000 people have lost their lives in the city of Goma, located in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The violence erupted as rebels, including the M23 armed group, captured Goma after intense clashes with the Congolese army.
The rebel coalition, known as Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC), declared a ceasefire in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the Kinshasa regime. However, the ceasefire has been met with skepticism as heavy fighting continues in South Kivu province.
