Human Rights Watch alerts on DRC


The NGO Human Rights Watch encourages the US to influence Rwanda in order to end the conflict in Eastern Congo.


Sanction Rwandan Officials Backing Abusive Congolese Rebels
(Washington) – The United States government should publicly support sanctions against Rwandan officials backing the armed group M23, which has been responsible for widespread war crimes in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. M23 rebels, whose commanders have been implicated in serious abuses, captured the city of Goma on November 20, 2012.
