Civilians flee homes in Democratic Republic of Congo as M23 rebel group advance – BBC News

Published

on



Civilians in Democratic Republic of Congo are fleeing their homes near the eastern city of Goma, amid fears that the M23 rebel group are advancing.

There are reports that the Congolese army has been fighting the militia near the town of Sake.

Tens of thousands of people have been displaced in recent months after the Tutsi-led rebels launched an offensive.

Ten years ago the same group was chased out of eastern DR Congo into Uganda and Rwanda.Rwanda’s government has been accused of supporting the M23, but it denies it.

Rwanda has for many years criticised the Congolese authorities for failing to disarm Hutu rebels – some of whom were linked to the Rwandan genocide.

    The song is always Rwanda backed Tutsi labels M23

    How about Congo integrated Tutu labels who left Rwanda after commiting genocide against Tutsi and continued the same business in Congo killing and misplacing Tutsis of Congo origin leading to formation of M23?

    You always focus on effects and cover the cause.

    It turned out people are fleeing because of the Congolese government soldiers caused unnecessary chaos by shooting in the villages and villagers were forced to flee. But 7 of those soldiers have been sentenced to death.

    Forget about all you have been told. The reality is simple! It is all about minerals!! Minerals that are in your phones, electric cars, strategic minerals used in all kind of technologies you are not even aware of! If there were no minerals there will be no war. Rwanda is being used by the west to destabilise the Congo so that they can have cheap access to minerals. The country is rich in minerals and since westerners set foot there there has always been killings.

    The DRC government must look for support from Russia , so that we have a duplicate of Alappo or Idlib in syria all the towns they are capturing must be bombed to the ground to remove cover before engaging them.

    The M23 l, whom are being called rebels in this video, are fighting for a just cause. Their ethnic group has been persecuted for dozens of years and excluded from state affairs. They are putting their foot down and requesting the DRC government sits with them to find solutions to their issues.

    Congo lots of Gold and Cobalt. Investors have a crazy demand of Gold as Fiat currency is becoming useless and digital. Cobalt needed as the world shuns Russian gas, and we want to be carbon free and clean. Just not for Africa. Lets pretend they are unruly, uncivilised and we don't cause civil unrest and mass murder for their resources, they are just poor people with nothing! 😇

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
