Bomb attacks on two camps for displaced people in eastern Congo have killed at least 12 people, including children, according to the UN. A UN spokesperson, Jean Jonas Yaovi Tossa, said at least 12 people were killed and more than 20 injured in the attacks. Tshisekedi has long alleged that Rwanda is destabilising Congo by backing the M23 rebels. The bombings follow the M23 group’s capture of the strategic mining town of Rubaya this week. The decades long conflict in eastern Congo has produced one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with over 100 armed groups fighting in the region, most for land and control of mines with valuable minerals.
