The fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has taken a new turn with the progression of the M23 rebel movement. According to local and security sources, clashes between M23 rebels and the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) have intensified in recent days. The seizure of the Kavumu airport represents a major strategic challenge, as it constitutes an essential access point for supplies and military operations in the region. The international community is closely following the evolution of the conflict, fearing an escalation that could further destabilize the Great Lakes region.
