- After a rapid advance, fighters from the ethnic Tutsi-led M23 rebel group have reportedly captured much of the eastern city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Goma is a vital trading hub, and within reach of mining towns supplying metals and minerals in high demand, such as gold, tin and coltan.
The UN says hundreds of people are wounded, bodies are lying in the streets, and an upsurge in rape and gender-based violence has been reported.
Fighting between the M23 and DR Congo's army has intensified since the start of the year, with the rebels seizing control of more territory than ever.

Free congo 🇨🇩....i stand with Congo 🇨🇩
Why do you stand with corrupt and incompetent government? Am African and am tired of their refugees and constant complaining about Rwanda and the West.
@@SimonMuasa01congo is like this because of the west
@@SimonMuasa01dont be so quick my brother to judge. You never know when it could be your turn God forbid. Don't say that.
@RupinyAlex Judge? Africa has an ongoing silent genocide killing thousands on a daily far worse than the holocaust and it's called corrupt politicians. Before you start blaming France or West, shouldn't you ask yourself who brought them their in the first place?
DRC has 111 million people, while Rwanda has 13 million, yet Rwanda is beating up DRC all because one is corrupt and incompetent to the core, Congolese should first blame Teshekedi before anyone else, shame on them how can you admit that you are being bullied buy a country that's ten times smaller than them.
@@RupinyAlex exactly so ture he jealous of my half country Congo 🇨🇩
Unity is strength stop destroying your brothers. Wake up and be your brother keeper.
@@laytonanderson in UK our government says diversity is our strength? Millions of British people don't agree.
War and rumours of war.. innocent people killed..😢 who is to be blamed.. stop this senseless killings.. vengeance belongs to the Lord
Africa have always been uncivilised
Everything is now under control of the Congolese army (FARDC) 💪🏽🇨🇩
The mess in the DR Congo is caused by the International Community. The latter supports Rwanda financially and the DR Congo verbally, creating never-ending tensions between the two nations. Rwanda has no right to fight in Congo or to negociate with the Congolese government. Why send the UN troops to keep peace in the DRC and instead have them watch the Congolese people die without doing anything? If the International Community wants to involve in this war, it should do so fully and force the Rwandan rebels to return to Rwanda. Otherwise, it should just stay out of it, withdraw the UN troops and not stop the Congolese government from declaring war against Rwanda.
😢
this is the white mans fault the west is always funding corrupt leaders for wars
@@blessmarleystech5712The UN isn’t anywhere to help the people. They want world control. It would be nice to have mutual respect all over the world. Civilians are always attacking and it makes me angry.
Why is it everyone else's fault ? you've had years and years and trillions of $ to build up Africa yet every week there's a civil war, or armed rebels attacking someone.
@@Kieranp96 It is because the UN is not empowered to enforce international law. Imagine if the UN worked like the police and was equipped and empowered to to identify and fight criminality between nations. The situation would be different and all these wars would be avoided.
never ends does it never a chance to let live in peace
Finally they talk about Congo
Oh please. BBC has been talking about Congo. Any time Africans are being violent, you will hear about it in European news. 🙄
Congo - the land of Tarzan. Television has spoken.
@@incelvillain1253The coverage is constant, unsurprisingly
Visited the region back in the 1990’s. One of the most beautiful places in Africa. Sad the people have never found peace due to tribal warfare.
It’s not tribal warfare. It’s war over minerals backed by many different countries. It’s not so simple.
Do your research it is from M23 rebellion, weak government, exploitation of resources... not "different countries".
Congelese are victim own minerals@@HouseOfGoddess
Congo’s misery started with the arrival of the Belgian colonist that committed atrocities causing millions of deaths in Congo and assassinated Patrice Lumumba. Ever since the colonists and their allies have a stranglehold on the Congolese people and their lands with their western allies country for decades that still continues today . Patrice Lumumba is smiling in heaven with joy and pride today that his people are standing up for their country’s independence. Bravo to the Congolese people!
I wonder why Belgium is sooo quiet like it has never begun this mess.
@ very good question.
Democracy was a lie sold to Africa
I have heard news of war in DRC sll my life ..Since l was a kid until now l.m an adult its news about war in Congo, Rwanda ..will these nations ever experience peace ... l wonder😢
Goma is Congolese and will remain Congolese
Goma has not fallen and will not fall, the fall of Goma is just in your media 2days already.Keep dreaming Goma will not fall never and ever again
Some places never change
Hmm yea I'm pretty sure it's been going on forever 😂
And this is why the UK needs to stop sending Rwanda money lmao
😂😂😂
French embassy has been set on fire
Surprised it’s the French embassy and not the Belgian one. That doesn’t seem to add up somehow.
No BLM protests about this?
U would be the first to mourn about it
DEI IS DEI. I wonder if all army personnel in dangerous countries's battle zones that are of colour and female will be removed from Hegseth military 🪖 🤔
NO,
How many dead bodies are you talking about BBC and where are they?
Sad
Does this mean we're gonna get thousands coming into our home seeking a 5 star hotel room, a mobile phone and free health care and free money from our taxes.
Have a peace, Don’t think we are primitive , Even you Ukraine never thought that can happen to them . Hope this will never happen to you!
What 5-star hotel room? This has never happened before and it won't happen now 🙄
If they want freebies theyre not gonna come to the UK, they'll stay in mainland europe
How do you think you are able to have a mobile phone???
@colleenuk5449 im from UK. In UK 🇬🇧 there's a massive problem with illegal immigrants flooding in to our country. They're coming from Congo , other African countries and other countries from around the world. Our government is housing them in very nice hotels and giving them a mobile phone and money too. It's destroying our culture . In cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham etc you can walk around all day and never meet an English person.
Why saying Rwanda is supporting M23 and you avoid saying that RDC army are supported by more than 6 armies from different countries such as South Africa, Tanzania, Burundi, Malawi, and armies gpe like FDLR , Wagners.
Tanzqnia not in per now
Why are you crying murderer supporter?
You're making pointless remarks. The DRC army is a legitimate government and not rebels
You forget wazalendo
@@AlieuBadjan-tz7nq legitimate country by which denied its own resident/ people M23 that they re not Congolese? 🤔
Prayers for the innocents
And the previous government said Rwanda is a safe country. We can't trust today's politicians or journalists?
God have mercy on congo and Africa in general 😢
Congo is rich place
They did nothing to you my man.
@ blm is a big thinghahaha
Yes so is Africa. But evil stupid dictators destroy all then blame the west. Yet the west is dealing with all nations yet they all develop but Africa doesn’t. I wonder why. The answer is clear. Bad leaders
@@Anson-g5w that makes no sense.
In resources
If your neighbor isn't safe, you're not safe. Paul Kagame has the right and it’s his duty to protect his people and country by getting involved in Congolese affairs to protect his country and his people from the chaos and violence that have reigned in Congo for decades since colonial times up to now.
Paul Kagame should absolutely not allow the terrible consequences of decades of mediocre governance of the Congo to spread to Rwanda.
I'm so glad this is now on world news. Lord have mercy and protect DRC.
What is Ramaphosa protecting for who. Come on our investigating journalists where are you with the truth.
Peace ✌️ keeping. Because most of you are running to South Africa and when we tell you to go home you cry war and xenophobia.
Do they even know the root of why they are fighting, or are they just fighting because they have been told too?!
Bongo bongo bongo I don't wanna leave the congo, oh on no no no. 😂
😢😢😢
African young people need to rise up. To secure a future for themselves. Their leaders have failed them in the past and will do something again. How can these people call themselves civilized. No way
Congo has a population of 104m compared to Rwanda's 14m. Their natural wealth is greater than some European countries. The leadership there has failed the people.
What is happening in DRC, l remember long long time 1990, DRC had experienced such unrest.
stop calling it rebel groups call it a Rwanda backed army
Awful
May Lord help and protect our innoncent people
Where are those foolish who are always saying Black lives matter... Where are they? We want them also to protest in all Universities across America.....
Paul Kagame is happy with this , he will one day answer this
The issue with UN military missions is their approach as peacekeepers rather than peacemakers. The fundamental ideology behind the UN appears flawed. Imagine the UN as a potluck where instead of dishes, various political, economic, and religious ideologies are brought to the table. This convergence results in a chaotic mix of egos and self-righteous hypocrisies that hinder any meaningful progress. Despite these differences, there must be non-negotiables: the inviolable rights of each human being, the sovereignty of democratically elected governments, and a clear definition of criminal acts. The UN is failing miserably in addressing criminal actions. A thief cannot be deemed a criminal when he steals from me, but contextually exempt when he robs my enemy. This discrepancy is why the UN enters warzones as peacekeepers, not peacemakers. As peacekeepers, they avoid action if the perpetrator is an ally. As peacemakers, they would function like the police, arresting all involved in a conflict and seeking answers after restoring peace. Without significant reforms, the UN will remain ineffectual and continue squandering taxpayers' money. True peace will remain elusive until these issues are addressed. I urge all morally conscious individuals to critically consider this proposal and foster practical dialogue to reform the UN into a truly effective organization.
I didn’t know🫢
All this time I thought they were peacemakers but I’d get confused with their inaction. Example during Rwanda g*nocide where in 3 months 700k pple passed away. Their commanders asked them to leave Rwanda And the Rwandese had no where to turn to. Their mere presence then solves nothing. It’s not as if their Presence would change an event, as if their presence is that of God Almighty’s. What a pointless approach especially in moments needed for ACTION. And action doesn’t mean vi0lence. Your assessment is so good, yes they have a global platform and resources to do much for peace & coming from different countries they’d be Objective & neutral.
@AnneSwiss-m It's very sad. We need to call for the reformation of the UN. Too many lives have been lost because of its powerlessness.
Well elaborated brother, the reason they are been kicked out in other countries.
🙏🙏🙏 *John 3:36* 🙏🙏🙏
On whose side is the cia this time
It's obvious that you have the answer 😮
I am curious, the international community is blaming rwanda yet people are escaping into rwanda....
Okay, you are dumb.
Don't be surprised that M23 rebel groups are backed by the the West because of the minerals in the congo DRC
Exactly
No one escaping to Rwanda, because the borders cities like gisenyi and rubavu are under the control of the Congolese special forces since yesterday at midnight...
From Rwanda straight to London in rubber submarines...to live free and be knighted within a month ...😅😅😅😅
Selena No-medz is going to cry again
Not rebel group but Rwandan Army RDF
Fake news. Images from Rwanda and not from goma..😂😂😂
Because you don't like the truth
this does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay,each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos
Did you take your meds today?😳
What peace talks when DRC🇨🇩 never borrowed anything from Rwanda. Kagame is a mad person traumatised by the Rwandan genocide, Regime change should be imminent.
Hooo!!!!!!?
How can a tiny country like Rwanda be a threat to DRC? Couldn’t there be regional integration in DRC alongside deployment of troops to their eastern border? All bores down to leadership. The national capital should be moved to central part of the country, given its location and the national resources over there, the rainforest terrain notwithstanding. The DRC should embrace English as national language (make alliances with the Western world (provide resources in exchange for military trainings and supports), move their capital to the center, and make Kinshasa center of commerce, not government.
Drc has more than 166 thousand soldiers. Way more than Rwanda. And this still happened? There's no military that is more incompetent than the DRC military.
DRC is a big country. Only a fraction of its army is stationed in Goma.
@@christianlendo7787 I hope that's the real reason why their military is doing so poorly.
Supplies of Um Bongo also reportedly running low
শান্তি আসুক
The UK, US, France, Israeli, and their proxies in Rwabda and Kenya will soon face the consequences of these eviks in Africa.
I woudl like to see protests in the west for either Congo or Rwanda if people are not hypocrites...
Rwanda is now a pain to his own kind (Africans)
But Zios always said “No jews No news”? Seems not..
Can you please inform the whole world about what's happening in Rwanda right now. There might be a coup d'État. We need to know!
Tell your people the truth only truth the Congolese army control pertains Rwanda provinces Giseny,Rubabu we cut the electricity Kalombo news truth will prevail
#FreeCONGO !!
Vive our Tshisekedi and army Fardc wazalendo
Freedom of M23 we love u so much
Why you bazungu always bring lies you the one to blame not rwanda or congo and you guys think we’re the stupid guys you were dealing whit in 90s m23 they are fighting for their rights like they way you fight for your people’s right so stop blaming any body
my Allah bring peace ✌️in Goma congo amen
The day eu usa rwanda Uganda stop supporting m23 the war is over
War and poverty are all man-made. There is enough for all.
This is why In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
because He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He appointed, having provided a guarantee to all, having raised Him out from the dead." Acts 17
Amen
Yes brother in Christ💚, & that man is unlike other prophets. He is the *Eternal Word of God,* God in the flesh• Maranatha!
African African how long would continue fighting one another?
Then you don't know anything about Africa. It's usually the West that creates all the mess
Then some of us have the nerve to talk about Open Borders while we kill each other like this😢
the white man caused this..
Disputed bordered areas and failures of the conditions of great risks to life are positioning of migrants fleeing for their safety and well being is putting strain to the allocated resources needed.
The Censored Guide to Wealth on Bovolorus feels like the kind of book you don't come across every day
😂so DRC army cnt hundle their tsotsis themselves....?they ar failing th nation as a goverment hmmm

Kudos M23. You are so brave. Goma is now liberated
Dream on boy! Rubavu IS without electricity & water...
Kagame will beg for peace!
@@jeanblaisediyoka8847because that's what they feed you...
You are a joke😂
I was previously a fan the BBC news app, however the news stories are now all just attention grabbing headlines. Today I see a headline entitled ‘half our house is gone’ and ‘Macron says Mona Lisa will be moved to Louvre’. Personalised news tripe.
God is the creator of the Universe and will help 🙏
President Museven is answer to that conflict he stop that war
Ugandan and Rwandese military are active participants in looting resources from Congo.
Well what's the problem, Islam is peace remember
The indians like going to england, france, and, italy, congolese players is what their looking at to buy, i've needed to learn, public display of affection is different to private land including the beach #JaneAndMatthewAreGoingBackToCalifornia

UK will see similar state of affairs in coming years.
Tshisekedi fall DRC ,may citizens stop blaming others
RDC is a failed state. It will be a good thing for the congolese people to be administered by Rwanda.
impossible, a country as small as Rwanda
Shut up man. DR Congo is growing annually and Rwanda is a wasteland supported by international aid and minerals stolen from Congo. Rwanda cannot even stand on its own resources. Get out of Congo you godless animals.
Finally they talk about Congo
