  • The armed struggle has resulted in hundreds of deaths and the displacement of nearly two million people over three years.
  • M23 claims the Congolese government’s actions amount to an existential threat to minority Tutsis, who face discrimination.
  • Despite various ceasefire attempts and negotiations, fighting continues, with M23 recently gaining territory in North Kivu province.
  • Bisimwa emphasizes the necessity of dialogue as a means to resolve the conflict, countering Kinshasa's refusal to engage with M23.
