The M23 rebel group has entered the town of Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) amid ongoing fighting, raising fears of a further deterioration in the security situation in the region. Local authorities said the rebels have established control over several key areas in the town, causing intense panic among residents.
The M23 rebel group, whose main accusation is that the Congolese government is taking away their rights, has been causing unrest in the eastern region for a long time. They have been attacking various towns and villages in eastern Congo, and many people have already fled their homes.
The United Nations and international human rights organizations have expressed deep concern about the situation, and they have called for peace to be established through negotiations between the government and rebel groups.
Meanwhile, there has been no official statement from the Congolese government regarding the current situation in the city of Bukhabwe, but according to local media reports, the government is preparing to launch a military operation against the rebels.
