12 people in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo were killed after two separate bomb attacks hit refugee camps where thousands of internally displaced people are sheltering. The fighting between the Congolese armed forces (FARDC) and the M23 rebel group, a proxy force backed by Rwanda, has displaced over 150,000 people.
Kambale Musavuli of the Center for Research on the Congo gives an overview of one year of violence and explains how the Western powers are involved.
“Because of how the West benefits from the war, no matter what Rwanda and Uganda do in the DRC they are not held accountable” @kambale
