The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is facing a severe crisis as M23 rebels, reportedly backed by Rwanda, have taken control of the city of Goma. The conflict, fueled by the region's rich mineral wealth, has resulted in civilian casualties, looting, and attacks on foreign embassies.
The M23 movement, a Tutsi-led insurgent group, has been taxing minerals like coltan, cobalt, and copper, which are crucial for electric cars and mobile phones. The United Nations has raised concerns about the exploitation of resources by armed groups in the DRC.
