Description
The first part of the Burundian troops pledged to deploy to the volatile eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) arrives in Goma. The seven-nation East African Community began deploying troops late last year in the eastern DRC, which has been struggling with the rise of militias including the rebel March 23 Movement (M23). The fighting in North Kivu province has displaced huge numbers of people and exacerbated regional tensions, with the DRC government accusing Rwanda of backing the M23 -- claims denied by Kigali but supported by the US and several Western nations.
