28, 2025, demonstrators in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), attacked the embassies of France, the United States, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya.
These protests were fueled by anger over the M23 rebels’ advance into Goma, a major city in eastern DRC. The M23 group is believed to receive support from Rwanda, intensifying regional tensions.
In Goma, the situation has deteriorated rapidly. Continuous gunfire has been reported as M23 rebels face resistance from the Congolese army and allied militias.
Hospitals are overwhelmed with casualties, and there are alarming reports of rapes and looting. The conflict has displaced thousands, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis.
The international community has expressed deep concern over the escalating violence. France is seeking a UN Security Council resolution to officially name Rwanda as a supporter of the M23 rebels.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the withdrawal of Rwandan forces from DRC territory.
Efforts are underway to mediate the crisis, with countries like Kenya proposing emergency summits to address the situation.
The French embassy in Kinshasa has been attacked. Things are getting ugly in the DRC.
