Leaked reports, satellite images and interviews reveal the extent of Rwanda's shadow war in the Congo, as the U. Displaced people's camps flattened. Prisons. . A conflict began between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda in 2022 after Rwandan forces entered the country to provide military support to the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group, including fighting alongside them against the Congolese military (FARDC) and pro-government. . After the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the country has made tremendous strides toward peace and development. April 7 marks thirty years since the Rwandan genocide, in which a radical faction from the majority Hutu ethnic group launched. . The seeming rapid deterioration of security in the eastern DRC and resurgence of M23 are an outcome of longstanding regional rivalries between Rwanda and Uganda. FARDC soldiers patrol near Goma after an attack by M23 rebels. 15 percent of the vote, took place against a backdrop of repression. Allegations of ill-treatment of detainees continued, and in April, several prison officials and prisoners were convicted of murder and assault of prisoners. . M23 operates with assistance from both Rwanda and Uganda, including direct combat support from the Rwandan armed forces. South Africa is one of the contributing. .
