Kinshas: Rwanda -backed M23 militia has carried out the “mass murders” of Congo citizens in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, warning Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Tuesday.With the support of Rwanda, the M23 fighters have confiscated the resource-rich former health of the DRC, which has captured the major city of Goma in late January after an electric aggressive.Since then, M23 has established to control areas under its control for long periods.Hundreds of Kangoli troops and affiliated militia fighters dispelled to avoid capturing, M23 has consistently raided, sealing their rights to recover their rights.In such an such raid on 22 and 23 February, the armed group “carried out at least 21 citizens and most likely” Kasika in Goma’s neighborhood near a former Kangoli Army Barrack in the neighborhood, HRW said in a statement.According to a 15 -year -old boy Watchdog, the bodies dumped at a building site near the barrack were among the bodies. The HRW stated that the lack of fighting and wounds “indicated that the M23 fighters deliberately killed those people in their custody”, accused the armed group of “war crimes”.Citing HRW’s witnesses witnessing HRW, the rights group stated that it had “reliable information” that M23 targeted the region due to the report of the presence of the Kangoli Army and the pro -government militiamen.Swahili is called “Wazlando”, meaning “Patriots”, sometimes those fighters are wearing civil clothes, which find it difficult to determine their loyalty to an armed group.“The Cruel control of M3 on Goma has created an atmosphere of fear among the people who have been coalition for the Congo government,” said Clementine de Montoy, a senior HRW researcher in the African Great Lakes region, has created an atmosphere of fear.Montoys said, “Large -scale murders do not take action by evil fighters, but by efforts to solidify the control of the M33 leadership efforts.”In order to pressurize Rwanda to end his support for M23, the researcher said that “the Rwanda government may be complicated in the war crimes of the armed group as a direct supporter of the M23”.In addition to 22 eyewitness accounts, Watchdog said he had taken certified videos and photos to reach his conclusion. HRW said it had contacted M33 spokesman Lawrence Kanuka on 23 May, but had not received any response until the time of publication. Reacting to X, Kanuka accused HRW of publishing “a promotional equipment”, “a lack of professionalism in some human rights organizations”. Kanuka last week slammed the allegations from HRW’s Fellow Rights Group, Amnesty International that M3 had tortured citizens, who were imprisoned as “Grotecas and Asymmetry”.
