Only a day after signing the peace deal with DRC in Washington, Rwanda aided the offensive by its proxy militia, the M23, which has now entered a strategic city where the Southern Kivu province’s administration is located.

Recent reports indicate the killing of hundreds of civilians in Congo by the M23, despite a peace deal having been agreed to.
