The latest M23 offensive backed by Rwanda in Eastern DRC escalates a conflict, which has caused over 6 million deaths since 1996, and engendered a grave humanitarian crisis, leading to at least 3,000 deaths in Goma and displacing over 700,000 people in the last two months. The war is largely driven by the illicit extraction of eastern DRC’s minerals and the demand from multinational companies and governments of the global North. Today, 67 organizations from 30 countries call on the US, UK and the EU to take immediate action and stop their support to Rwanda. Rena Meyers-Dahlkamp Maurice Carney
