00:00At least 400 civilians have been killed in eastern Congo in an ongoing offensive by Rwandan-backed rebel group M23.
00:11Despite a peace deal between Congo and Rwanda that was mediated by the U.S. and signed just last week,
00:19there is no sign of an end to the conflict in eastern DRC.
00:24The M23 has escalated its offensive and regional officials claimed that Rwandan special forces had been stationed in the strategically important city of Uvira.
00:35The rebel group had not been included in the peace deal and is negotiating separately with the Congolese government.
00:42Meanwhile, the battles in eastern Congo are having dire consequences for the humanitarian situation.
00:49Many inhabitants fled their homes in the face of the M23's rapid advance on Uvira,
00:55and numerous others have fallen victim to airstrikes and bullets.
01:00So, let's do this to our progress.
01:03Now, go ahead for more opportunities,
01:05and let me just show you how this could begin with.
01:08For the sake of the M23's,
