DRC: In the absence of international measures, the possibility of deepening the crisis - human rights chief

The head of the human rights case says that the worst situation in the eastern part of the Congo Democratic Republic can be crossed the borders of the country. From January 2, up to January, about 3,000 people have been killed in the attack between M32 fighters and its allies, 2,5 people were injured.

During the fight, heavy weapons were used in the residential area and a serious attack against the DRC’s armed forces was carried out.

Members of the United Nations have discussed the establishment of a true-house mission to investigate serious human rights violations in North Kiwu and South Kiev provinces of East DRC.

This area is full of mineral resources, but due to the activation of armed groups, it has been suffering from instability for many decades, and millions of people have been forced to leave their homes.

In the last days of January, the Tutsi-dominated M33 fighters took part in some parts of the northern Kivu province, including the area around the capital Goma. Later, the rebel party has removed the city of Bookabu in South Kivu province.

A proposal was presented at the emergency session of the Human Rights Council on Friday, condemning Rwanda military assistance for the M33 weapons party.

Also, Rwanda and M32 have been requested to prevent their attacks and to provide humanitarian assistance in the damaged areas of violence.

Hospitals target

Addressing the Human Rights High Commissioner Bholaka Turk Emergency Session, two hospital bombs were dropped in Goma on January 2, where many patients were killed and many others were injured. They also include women and children.

On the same day, the prisoners were able to escape a large number of Goma jail, and four female prisoners were reported to be raped. Later, most of the fire died in suspicious situations.

“I was shocked to see the spread of sexual violence, which has long become a horrible face of this violent conflict. In the current situation, the situation is expected to worse. “

According to the top UN official, UN employees have been appointed to verify allegations of rape, gang rape and sex slavery in East DRC.

The role of Manusco

The DRC general secretary and the main representative of the UN peacekeeping mission (Manusco) say that the bodies are still scattered on the streets of Goma. It is currently the M23 warriors occupying and “the situation is catastrophic.”

He has issued a warning that the health risk is increasing due to the spread of fighting and the spread of cholera and MPOX, these cases have increased the risk of emerging again.

Children’s education has suddenly disrupted and has increased in terms of sexual violence and gender-based violence related to violent conflict.

According to the data obtained, physicians at health centers are facing electricity reduction and there is no fuel in the generator to provide their basic services.

In view of this, the Special Representative requested the international community that it should be advised in Goma immediate humanitarian assistance.
