The M23 rebels have claimed to have taken control of Goma, the largest city in eastern DR Congo, following a rapid advance against the Congolese army on Sunday, January.However, the government has denied these claims, asserting that its forces still control strategic parts of the city, including the airport.

Residents have shared videos showing M23 rebels patrolling Goma’s main streets, while local media reports that the city is now quiet after hours of intense gunfire and explosions.The situation remains tense, with reports of confusion and looting in parts of the city.

The DR Congo’s foreign minister has accused neighboring Rwanda of declaring war by sending troops to support the M23 rebels.Rwanda, while not denying its support for the M23, has accused the Congolese authorities of backing militias attempting to overthrow the government in Kigali.

In response to the escalating conflict, Kenya has called for a ceasefire and announced that the presidents of both DR Congo and Rwanda will attend an emergency regional summit within the next two days.Kenyan President William Ruto, the current chair of the East African Community, emphasized the need for regional leaders to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The M23 group has been advancing swiftly on Goma in recent weeks, causing tens of thousands of people to flee neighboring towns since the start of 2025, more than 400,000 people have been displaced in the provinces of North and South Kivu.

The government has stated that its forces are still in control of strategic points in Goma, including the airport, and that the army is determined to defend the homeland. However, the situation on the ground remains complex, with reports of ongoing gunfire and artillery strikes in the city.

The international community, including the United Nations, has expressed concern over the humanitarian impact of the conflict and the need for immediate action to protect civilians.
