Default Rebels attack on the United Nations in Congo

"He underscores that any attack directed
against United Nations peacekeepers may
constitute a war crime and calls upon
the Congolese authorities to investigate these
incidents and swiftly bring those responsible
to justice," deputy UN spokesperson
Farhan Haq said in a statement.

Three United Nations peacekeepers and
at least 12 demonstrators have been killed

Democratic Republic of Congo
sadly in the News again,

Ch4HDnews
said it is about Cobalt
(appearance: Hard lustrous bluish gray metal)

the mineral for everyone's Mobile Phone



[BBC NEWS:26 January 2025
Fierce fighting rages on in the eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma,
as rebels and the army exchange fire.

"All we can hear [are] gunshots around
the city," one Goma resident,
who has been trapped in his house
since the weekend, told the BBC.

Residents shared videos of M23 rebels
patrolling Goma's main streets
following Sunday's lightning advance against
the Congolese army that saw tens of
thousands of people
fleeing neighbouring towns.

The rebels say they are in control of the
city but the Congolese authorities dispute this.

Prosper, a local journalist in Goma,
told the BBC there were clashes between
the army and the rebels in parts of the city.
"We're really worried," he said.

The M23 has taken control of the
Goma branch of state broadcaster RTNC,
according to the UN-sponsored Radio Okapi.

One Goma resident, Lucie, told AFP she was
hiding in her bed because she was terrified.

"We can hear the shooting outside
our homes. We cannot leave."

AFP has reported that at least 17 people have
been killed in the fighting
and over 300 injured.

This swift advance comes hours after
DR Congo's foreign minister
accused neighbouring Rwanda of declaring
war by sending its troops over the border
to support the M23.


Rwanda does not deny backing
the M23 but accuses the
Congolese authorities of supporting
militias trying to topple the
government in Kigali.

Kenya's President William Ruto,
the current chair of the
East African Community,
has called for a ceasefire,
and announced that the presidents
of both the DR Congo and Rwanda
will attend an emergency regional
summit on Wednesday.]

On Ch4HDnews and CNN HD today.

CNN :
[Nearly 3,000 people have been killed in the city of
Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo,
according to the United Nations,
after it was captured by rebels following days of
fierce fighting with the Congolese army.
Vivian van de Perre, deputy head of the
UN mission in DR Congo, said Wednesday
that “so far 2,000 bodies have been
collected from the Goma streets in recent days,
and 900 bodies remain in the morgues
of the Goma hospitals.”

“We expect this number to go up,”
she told reporters in a video call from
the city, which is home to about 2 million people.
“There are still many decomposing bodies
in certain areas.” ]

of those people still alive.

Yes, they should stop.
No way is it a Democratic nation
at this time.
It is a War Zone.
