The Miliz M23, who took the city of Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo a few days ago, wants to keep a ceasefire from Tuesday. “For humanitarian reasons, we impose a fire brigade that will come into force from 4 February 2025,” the group said in a message. The rebels had fought with the Congolese army for days, but eventually beat them.
It initially remained unclear whether the army would also comply with the fire brigade. In his explanation, the militia condemned the army to use the airport near the city of Bukavu as the basis for air strikes in its “liberated areas”. The militia did not intend to take Bukavu, said it. However, experts fear exactly that: a rise of the M23 hunters in the direction of the airport of Kavumu and Bukavus, the important capital of the province of South Kivu.
UN: Safe at least 900 corpses in Goma
After the recent struggles to take Goma, at least 900 corpses were restored in the streets of the city in the eastern Congo. The number that has been increased to Friday does not conclude those deaths that have already been brought into corpse, such as the Unhilfebüro Ocha, stating the World Health Organization (WHO). There were still countless corpses in the streets of Gomas, it said. The local authorities in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo also had almost 2,900 injuries last week.
The M23, which according to experts is supported by the neighboring country Rwanda, already manages large parts of the eastern province of Noord -Kivu, a region in which some of the most rarest and valuable metals and ores in the world have been demolished in large quantities, including Coltan, Gold, nickel, cobalt and copper.
