DRC: Christians caught in crossfire
Luke Randall
Church services have been cancelled as fighting continues to intensify in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – with 70 Christians found beheaded in one church.
M23 rebels, who have been seizing territory since early 2022 with the help of around 4,000 Rwandan troops, now control the two of the largest cities in DRC - Goma and Bukavu.
letter from Democratic Republic of Congo
DRC: ‘Why is the world looking away?’
James Stileman
‘Those who live in Goma live in fear. They do not know what is next. They ask why the international community has looked the other way.’
Those are the words of someone I saw in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) just a few months ago – and who, with his family, is now out of his home, having being compelled to flee as rebel forces advanced.
