Congo-Kinshasa: Rwanda-Backed M23 Executed Civilians in Goma

  • Human Rights Watch reported that the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group killed at least 21 civilians over a two-day period in late February 2025 in the eastern city of Goma, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
  • This occurred amid M23's seizure of large areas in eastern Congo since January 2025, during a decades-long conflict fueled by regional tensions and resource struggles.
  • The killings targeted Kasika neighborhood near the former Katindo military camp, with victims including children and shots to the head indicating deliberate executions.
  • Human Rights Watch and other groups documented over 50 bodies, videos with bullet holes, and interviews with 22 witnesses, calling the acts war crimes and urging accountability.
  • The violence has intensified displacement and humanitarian crises, while Rwanda denies backing M23, despite UN reports and international calls for an end to external support.
