  • The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a large and beautiful country in Central Africa.

  • On its east, it borders Rwanda.

  • And right now, a rebel group called M23 is on a rampage in Congo after capturing the Congolese city of Goma.

  • The morgues in Goma are overflowing.

  • We can't go on like this.

  • Mothers are raped, killed.

  • When will this end?

  • Until when?

  • Aid agencies are struggling, too.

  • Their warehouses in Goma were looted.

  • The men of M23 have been at this on and off for years now.

  • Congo is always on edge.

  • Civilians have to flee these M23 incursions,

  • leaving their homes again and again and again to escape this campaign of killing and rape.

  • So who is funding and arming M23?

  • It is Rwanda.

  • Coming up on Today explained why everyone, including the United States, won't stop messing around in Congo.
