SA-led SAMIDRC announces operation to push back M23 rebels in eastern DRC
A SAMI DRC convoy drives through Goma, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, on 19 April 2024.
The attacks wounded at least 30 civilians and claimed the lives of 16 people. The chaos resulted in"massive displacement of the population, blocking supply routes to Goma, and worsening the humanitarian situation", SAMIDRC said.
SAMIDRC also said its operation would fall under the guidelines of the law of armed conflicts, human rights, the United Nations Charter, and other statutes that seek to protect civilians.Rwanda, accused of supporting the M23 rebels and of involvement in Friday's attack on civilians, said such allegations were"ridiculous".
During his tour, he shared his disappointment with global powers for their failure to impose sanctions on Rwanda.
