“We are trapped, Goma is suffocating” - BBC Africa

Description: As the M23 fighters continue to gain territory in Eastern DRC, the town of Goma is holding by a thread. The regional capital city is home to around two million people and there is growing fears that the city might fall back to M23 control. More than 230,000 people have already fled violence in eastern DRC since the start of the year according to the United Nations who is calling it one of the world's "most alarming" humanitarian crises.

Until the World asks the tough questions, and gets the right answers, the civilians will continue suffering under this M23.
Really, who is arming this group? Where do they get these 4*4 vehicles? Where these machines pass to reach them? The truth must be told!

This is sooo sad. As a Ugandan, I apologize for any part my country may have played in causing this.

[KIM-xlzs]

As a Kenyan I know this kagame is responsible, even Uganda now has gold refineries and which refine gold they don't havez even some corrupt kenyans benefit from this and international guys too, am also responsible too as am using electrical devices, I feel bad for people of Congo

[achimbonczek]

Africa United? African Union? Why is the AU then not helping?

[TheAfricanCitizen]

Politicians doesn’t care about us at all!💔💔

[paxjackal]

BBC, is that all the coverage you have on RWANDA'S 🇷🇼 WAR ON CONGO 🇨🇩 ????

[ndofunsubadika]

It is a war. Freedom and independance are not gift which kagame will give us. We need to fight for it to obtain it.
There were cities in history which did face the same situation..But citizens of those cities stayed tall because they wanted to be free
Estern German, mouscu.
So some of these are probangada.
As patriote, I know what we are fighting for . congo is fighting for its freedim and independance. Free minded poeples will not accept to be dominated by any individual or country

DRC needs to step up and get in war mode, this isn’t football 🏈 or basketball 🏀

[emilia]

Let Kisskedi see how foolish he is to start a war instead of negotiating 😂😅😂

[phillipmwamba]

Where is the international communities.

[JAMESBUME-sy]

Ask Zimbabwe for help like what you did in 1997 and you can just give us 1year to deal with both m23 and Rwanda.

[estebanperez]

That country is cooked. I swear this happens every couple years.

[drugoviic]

those military equipment don't look cheap, how do they afford that

ALLIANCE FLEUVE CONGO( AFC) EST LE SEUL ESPOIR DE CONGOLAIS

[kipapula]

You know for a fact you will be safer once m23 takes over. Why not investigate safety of citizens before and after m23 captures. You can clearly see on X places where m23 has capture are safer and thrive in business

[ANONYMOUS-vtx]

FREE OUR PEOPLE AND YOU WILL HAVE PEACE IN CONGO

[algaddafi]

Ever since the sadc forces been deployed, i haven't heard anything from them, especially good news are they doing their job?

[charlki]

When the Kenya troops left Eastern Congo last year it was just a matter of time and M23 would have taken over.

[vivijuno]

This is the result of bad cutting the borders by white peoples during their colonization in Africa, kivu was a part of Rwanda 🇷🇼

[MuhireNdayisaba-fo]

Why are not safe your own government is lying to you m23 is fighting to save and freedom
