The Rwanda-backed rebels who captured eastern Congo’s key city of Goma sought to shore up public support amid growing international pressure. As the M23 rebels continue their advance, ignoring the UN secretary-general’s call to lay down their arms, FRANCE 24’s François Picard welcomes Daniel Levine-Spound, Human Rights Lawyer, Researcher and Clinical Teaching Fellow and Supervising Attorney at the Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic (IHRC). He compares the war in the east of the DRC to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and blames the escalating conflict on the world’s refusal to "hold Rwanda accountable".
