Renewed fighting between Democratic Republic of Congo’s army and M23 rebels broke out on Sunday around a densely populated town in eastern North Kivu province, where the rebels are waging an insurgency, the army and M23 said. The Tutsi-led M23 have been waging a fresh insurgency in the vast central African country’s militia-plagued east since 2022. Congo authorities, the United Nations, the United States and other Western governments have accused Rwanda of backing the group. Rwanda denies the accusations, which have also greatly soured relations with its neighbour. FRANCE 24’s Emmet Livingstone reports.
