Democratic Republic of Congo should file a complaint with the International Court of Justice over Rwanda’s failure to respect its border, Belgium’s ambassador to Congo said yesterday at a meeting to assess the deepening crisis in eastern Congo.
Congo has been struggling to push back M23 rebels since they launched a comeback offensive in the already restive east in 2022.
The fighting has displaced seven hundred thirty eight thousand more people in the first three months of this year alone, according to the U.N. aid agency. The Congolese government, U.N. officials and Western powers including the United States and Belgium have accused Rwanda of providing support for M23 – including weapons and soldiers – which Rwanda has repeatedly denied.
