We are writing to bring to your attention the grave humanitarian situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where the Rwandan government has been violating the country’s territorial integrity. The Rwandan military has been using the March 23 (M23) rebel group, a Congolese Tutsi-led movement, to occupy key areas, including the recent occupation of North Kivu capital, Goma on January 23, 2025. This is the latest in a series of violent aggressions since M23 resumed its armed conflict against the DRC in early 2022. The Congolese people have suffered tremendously since 1996, enduring mass killings, displacement, economic impoverishment, cultural genocide, and ethnic-based violence it is imperative that the United States (U.S.) takes decisive action to support the sovereignty of the DRC and help put an end to these atrocities. End US support of Rwanda. Stop backing violence in Africa. Stop supporting corporate greed in Africa. Allow nationalization of Africas resources. Remove all US military bases from Africa.
