Rwanda’s rebels are heading to Bukabu.

As Rwanda’s M23 rebels entered the second largest city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, there was a fierce fight as it expanded in the regional conflict.

The M23 fighter occupied GOMA, the largest city in the area, and moved south to the south to the south to the capital of Kibu.

According to the AFP News Agency, the Congo army set up a defensive line on the road between the two cities.

Earlier this week, the M23 group vowed to continue the attack until it reached Kinshasa, the capital, 2,600 km (1,600 miles).

Hundreds of private volunteers have enlisted to defend the Bucabu.

A young man told AFP: “I am ready to die for our country.”

According to Antonio GuterRes, UN Secretary -General Stephane Dujarric, at least 700 people were killed and 2,800 were injured from Sunday.

He added that deaths are likely to rise.

Purusi Sadiki, the governor of the Sadang Governor, told Reuters that he is holding a rebels against the Congo army and allies. But the BBC could not confirm this.

Kayikwamba Wagner, the foreign minister of the country, said Rwanda was illegally attempting to occupy the Congo Democratic Republic and to adjust the regime change.

Wagner said, Rwanda President Rwanda Rwanda, Paul Kagame, has allowed injustice for decades and has not been responsible for violating international law.

Rwanda’s government spokesman Yolande Makolo denied accusation, and the army was deployed to prevent the dispute from being leaked into the territory.

Makolo told the BBC’s newsday program, “We are not interested in war, are not interested in merger, and are not interested in the change of regime.”

The South African development community (SADC), a local block of 16 members, held a special meeting on Friday to discuss the situation of Dr. Congo on Zimbabwe.

“The peace and security of our region is a common obligation to peace and security in our region.

SADC mainly dispatched Peacekeepers to Dr. Congo in South Africa, fought with armed groups such as M23, and restored peace in minerals.

Sixteen soldiers from South African countries died last week with the M23 around GOMA.

Rwanda’s President Kagame said in a public spat on X with South African Republic, saying, “It is not a peacekeeper and has no place in this situation.”

As the M23 occupied the large regions of the northern Kibu region around GOMA, Dr. Congo worsened the humanitarian crisis.

Shelley Thakral of the UN’s World Food Program (WFP) said urban residents lack food, clean water and medical supplies.

“The supply chain is now in disturbing if everything is closed, and if you think about land and air access,” she told AFP.

According to the UN refugee agency, more than 400,000 people have been forced to be forced at home from early 2025.

A UN Human Rights High Ms. Jeremy Lawrence spokesman said that there is a report on the Congo army’s sexual violence.

He said there were reports that at least 50 women were raped by some men in southern Kibu.

According to the United Nations, the M23 killed at least 12 people in summary.

A spokesman for Rwanda argued that the military’s army is securing a border in response to the “repetitive violation”, including 15 deaths from the border bombardment.

“DRC must do better work to secure his territory in order. This is their responsibility,” she said.

Makolo added that Rwanda is protecting his investment by placing “tremendous defensive mechanisms and aggressive mechanisms” along the border.

She also said Rwanda was concerned about the existence of Dr. Congo. In 1994, the militia in charge of the massacre of RwandaI returned to Rwanda and wanted to end my job. She accused the Congo authorities for working with these groups.

Congo Foreign Minister accused Rwanda for capturing Dr. Congo.

“I think Rwanda should take gold measures for all mineral exports. They should not benefit from those illegally mined in the eastern DRC,” she said.

This was rejected by Makolo.

Wagner stopped foreign aid with Rwanda and urged sanctions to leaders who “made this war possible.”

Foreign donors, such as the United Kingdom and Germany, have already threatened to stop the aid.

She also urged Rwanda’s army to suspend the UN peace mission.

“We must witness a country that witnesses a peaceful country in another country, and must be a warm person in the Great Lake area,” she said.

UN experts said last year that Rwanda has 3,000 to 4,000 troops, along with M23 in eastern Congo.

Human Rights Watch warned that Dr. Congo’s army fought the M23 rebels to increase risks to civilians. The humanitarian group accused both sides for committing a serious abuse of civilians.

UN Secretary -General Antonio GuterRes warned that the current risk of conflict is increasing to a wider war.

Uganda’s army said he would strengthen his defense with Dr. Congo along the border to strengthen his response to the increase in combat.

Dr. Congo is a vast country of about two -thirds of the size of Western Europe, on a border of nine different countries.

In the 1990s, the previous conflict of this country was led by many neighbors and called “World War of Africa.”
