M23 Rebels killed Eleven in North Kivu of Eastern Congo

Bodies of the deceased were found laid in underground grass. It was shock and tremors to the people who discovered the assassinated bodies.

According to reliable sources stated, deputy governor of Bwito in North Kivu Isaac Kibira said the assassination was led by the m23 rebels of Dr. Congo. Multiple reports from United Nations revealed that the Killers (M23) have strings attached with Rwanda Government, a statement denounced by Rwanda.

The M23 rebels were primarily composed of former members of the National Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP), another rebel group that had been integrated into the Congolese army as part of a peace agreement in 2009. However, the M23 rebels accused the Congolese government of failing to fully implement the terms of the peace agreement and violating their rights.

The M23 rebels, also known as the Movement of 23 March, were a rebel group active in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) from April 2012 to November 2013. The main reason behind their rebellion was a combination of political and ethnic grievances.

The rebels specifically demanded the full implementation of the March 23, 2009 peace agreement, which they believed had been neglected by the government. They claimed that the government had failed to address issues such as military integration, the provision of services, and the protection of ethnic Tutsis in the region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly in the North Kivu province.

The M23 rebels are primarily active in the eastern provinces of North Kivu and South Kivu, which border Rwanda and Uganda. They are primarily concentrated in the city of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, as well as other areas in the surrounding region.

The armed forces of M23 composed of more than one hundred troubled senior killers are believed to have been in the place for a couple of days before the attack.

This impacted into mass displacement of people vacating the region looking for safer areas for survival. They have invade different communities for temporally settlement.
