M23 Rebels Seize Kavumu Airport Amid Escalating DRC Conflict
President Félix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) cut short his European trip after the M23 rebel group claimed control of Kavumu Airport, a vital military and humanitarian hub near Bukavu. This escalation comes as M23 advances toward the city, which is just 30 kilometers from the airport, raising concerns about potential urban combat. Tshisekedi criticized the international community's lack of response to the crisis, stating that his country is under attack and that international law is being undermined. The rebels, backed by Rwanda, have been expanding their territory following their capture of Goma, and local sources report that Congolese troops are retreating toward Uvira. The situation has led to mass displacement and heightened fears among residents of Bukavu, as civil society groups urge authorities to prevent fighting in the city. The conflict's roots are deeply entwined with historical ethnic tensions, posing significant challenges for regional stability.
