Gunfire as rebels target key DR Congo city despite Trump peace deal
AI Summary
M23 rebels are advancing on Uvira, a key city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, leading to gunfire, explosions, and the displacement of thousands into Burundi. Despite a recent peace deal brokered by the US between the DR Congo and Rwanda, the offensive continues, with reports of rebels patrolling Uvira and residents seeking shelter. While the South Kivu Governor denies the city's fall, other sources indicate a chaotic situation with potential for a massacre. The US, EU, and several European nations accuse Rwanda of supporting the M23, a claim Rwanda denies, instead accusing DR Congo and Burundi of violating a ceasefire. The renewed fighting has displaced approximately 200,000 people this month, resulting in numerous casualties.
