M23 rebels in DRC vow to "march to Kinshasa"
ai generated text
The situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is escalating, with the Rwanda-backed rebel group M23 making significant gains in the eastern part of the country. The M23 has recently captured the provincial capital of Goma, and is now advancing towards the city of Bukavu. The UN has accused Rwanda of providing thousands of soldiers to support the M23, which has led to international calls for restraint.
Enlist massively in the army because you are the spearhead of our country.
We are going to continue the march until Kinshasa.
We are ready to defend ourselves if we are attacked by a coalition including South African forces.
Although there are signs of reprieve in Goma after days of intense fighting, the need for shelter, food, water, medical supplies, and protection in the city remains overwhelming.
We are now in a race against time to save lives.
Millions of people were already displaced by years of conflict in eastern DRC, and humanitarian needs were massive. With the current alarming upsurge in fighting, an already dire situation is rapidly becoming very much worse.
