تصاعد الصراع في شرق جمهورية الكونغو الديمقراطية

January 28, 2025 - تستمر المعارك العنيفة في مدينة غوما بجمهورية الكونغو الديمقراطية، حيث يتبادل متمردو حركة 23 آذار وقوات الحكومة إطلاق النار.

Dead bodies lay in the streets, gunfire rang out and hospitals were overwhelmed in east Congo's largest city, where rebels faced pockets of resistance on Tuesday from army and pro-government militias.

M23 fighters entered Goma on Monday in the worst escalation since 2012 of a three-decade conflict rooted in the long fallout from the Rwandan genocide and the struggle for control of Congo's abundant mineral resources.

Goma is a major hub for people displaced by fighting elsewhere in eastern Congo and aid groups seeking to assist them. Now the fighting has sent thousands of people streaming out of the city – some had recently sought refuge there from M23's offensive since the start of the year, Reuters said.
