In case you don't know. The M23 rebels, formally known as the March 23 Movement, are a rebel group based in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), not the Republic of the Congo. The group emerged in 2012 and is primarily composed of Tutsi fighters. They are not Islamic militants; rather, their motivations are largely political and ethnic.
The M23 rebels claim to represent the interests of the Tutsi population in the DRC, particularly in response to historical grievances and conflicts involving various ethnic groups in the region. The group has been accused of various human rights abuses, and their activities have been tied to broader regional tensions involving neighbouring countries, particularly Rwanda.
