DR Congo is facing renewed chaos as the M23 rebel group, led by Sultani Makenga, seizes key territories in the east. Makenga, a former Rwandan Patriotic Front fighter, has been at the heart of multiple conflicts over the decades. Accused of war crimes, including child soldier recruitment and mass violence, he has managed to evade capture despite international sanctions. Now, as tensions rise between DR Congo and Rwanda over alleged support for the rebels, thousands have been killed, and millions remain displaced.
