Tensions between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda have escalated as DR Congo accuses Rwanda of deploying its military in the eastern city of Goma. According to reports, the DRC government has called for an emergency meeting of the regional bloc, the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region, to discuss the ongoing issue. The deployment of Rwandan soldiers in Goma has raised concerns over increased insecurity in the region, which is already grappling with problems related to armed groups, human rights violations, and ethnic tensions. The DRC has called on the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) to address this issue urgently and ensure the safety of civilians in the region. While Rwanda has not officially responded to the claims, the increasing tensions between these two neighboring countries could potentially lead to further unrest in the region.
