What Just Happened? Escalation in Eastern Congo

In this episode, Samuel McVicar is joined by Sub-Saharan Africa Analyst Edward Bach to examine the rapidly escalating conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. They unpack the resurgence of the M23 militia, its backing from Rwanda and how recent territorial gains are shifting the balance on the ground. The discussion explores the deeper drivers of the conflict, from resource competition to regional rivalries, and assesses the risks of wider destabilisation across Central Africa.   Join the Sibylline Media mailing list https://mailchi.mp/sibylline.co.uk/sibyllinemedia   If you enjoyed this episode, let us know by liking, subscribing, or leaving a review.
