Rwanda directs the M23 rebels in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, with Uganda increasing its military presence in the region. Armed groups, including those aligned with the Congolese government, commit violations against civilians. A leaked report from UN experts details these developments and blames neighboring governments for worsening the crisis. The findings challenge the recent positive outlook following a peace deal between Rwanda and the DRC and ongoing negotiations with M23. Both Rwanda and Uganda deny the accusations, labeling the report's authors as biased, and remain unresponsive to media inquiries.
Kigali commands M23 rebels, while Uganda has increased its military presence in the DRC, contributing to a complex crisis that includes widespread human rights violations.
The UN experts' report highlights violations by all parties involved and accuses neighboring governments of exploiting the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Both Rwanda and Uganda have rejected allegations of bias in the UN report and continue to deny accusations despite the mounting evidence of their involvement.
The release of the UN report risks undermining recent peace initiatives, including the US-mediated peace agreement between Rwanda and the DRC, and ongoing talks with M23.
