This podcast is about the Rwanda-backed rebel group M23's seizure of Goma -- the largest city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo -- on January 27, 2025. It discusses the origins of M23 and the humanitarian disaster created by the fighting between the rebel group and the Congolese army and its local allied militias. The podcast also features criticism of Rwanda's role in supporting the rebel group. Fidel Bwanangela, human rights activists and humanitarian worker, shares his thoughts on the conflict. The conflict in the DRC has for too long suffered from a deficit of international attention and news coverage despite the ongoing fighting and suffering in the country in the last 30 plus years. The DRC's robust and brave activists and activist groups have also not received adequate attention. The country's citizen need and deserve more international attention and media coverage. Moreover, the crimes of M23, the Congolese military and human-rights abusing militias should not be allowed to be committed with impunity.
