ICRC escorts hundreds of disarmed Congo soldiers from rebel-controlled city

  • On April 30, 2025, the ICRC began escorting hundreds of disarmed Congolese soldiers and police from rebel-controlled Goma to Kinshasa.
  • This relocation followed a joint request from the Congolese Defense Ministry, MONUSCO, and the Congo River Alliance rebel coalition including M23.
  • The personnel had sought refuge since January at a UN base in Goma, seized by M23 rebels who intensified conflict in eastern Congo since late 2024.
  • The first convoy of 130 soldiers left Goma airport at 5:19 a.m., with the operation expected to last several days over roughly 1,600 kilometers westward.
  • The transfer signals a coordinated effort to reduce tensions, with Kinshasa authorities taking responsibility and Congo and Rwanda aiming to draft a peace deal by May 2.
