The M23 (March 23 Movement) is a prominent rebel group operating primarily in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, known for its ongoing armed insurgency against the Congolese government. Since its resurgence in 2021, the group has been at the center of intense regional conflict, drawing international scrutiny over allegations of external support from neighboring Rwanda and the resulting humanitarian crisis. As the group continues to launch offensives and seize territory, global media outlets and international bodies remain focused on the geopolitical implications of the violence, the displacement of civilians, and the complex diplomatic efforts required to stabilize the volatile Great Lakes region.
