I cannot believe we are witnessing mass murder before our eyes and not only are ppl in power turning a blind eye, but ppl are just going abt their business in social media bubbles without saying a word. This is horrifying. That def looks like a grave in front of these victims.

[vivafalastin 🇵🇸 @vivafalastin]

he can’t even have privacy in his grief because palestinians have to record and broadcast everything for even the opportunity to be believed. these are the worst moments of people’s lives and we force them to share them over and over so that hand-wringing politicians might act

[Mehar Khursheed @curlistani]

theres no forgiving how the world made Palestinians hold their dead to the camera. so their loss wasnt disbelieved. though it was still dismissed. how they had to plea that they love, bring & teach life. show us their pets so their humanity wasnt questioned? no forgiveness. none

this is the doctor who - when asked why he didn’t evacuate south - said “who will treat my patients? you think i went to medical school to only think about my life?” in the last 11 years he became an esteemed nephrologist & a father, only to be slaughtered by isr*el last week

A mosque where people were sheltering was bombed today and 60 people were killed and it's barely made news.

[Yara Eid 🇵🇸 يارا عيد @yaraeid_]

Israel kept cutting the internet and telecommunications from Gaza gradually and saw that the world did nothing. So now the shock factor is no longer there and internet and telecommunications might never be restored. They also did that with the massacre of the Ahli hospital and saw that no one stopped them which allowed them to keep bombing and targeting hospitals. Don’t get used to their war crimes. Everyone should still be shocked at every single horrific crime they’re committing against defenceless civilians and children even if they’re repeating it!

[5hahem @shaTIRED]

do not stop talking about palestine. i genuinely believe they are hoping our attention spans give out on us. we will never let this go.

Thread 🧵 Congo 🇨🇩:

What are the causes of the ongoing conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo today, and how did it begin? Where has it reached, and how far has its impact been in fueling a regional conflict in the Great Lakes region of Africa? What role do regional and international parties play in fueling the conflict and benefiting from its continuation?

The media coverage of current events in the "Congo" these days bears a special character. It focuses on groups of "Blacks" killing other groups of "Blacks" without discussing the reason for this infighting, who contributes to making it a daily event for the locals there, or even who supplies them with the weapons that fan the flames of conflict among them.

These ethnic groups have become fuel for these conflicts due to the concentration of mineral wealth in certain areas, including regions rich in gold, oil, tin, and cobalt. The immense mineral wealth has not addressed the country's poverty, ranked among the world's poorest, in addition to political instability and rampant corruption.

Rebel groups and networks closely linked to the Congolese army are active in the trade and smuggling of these resources abroad.

In 2012, former soldiers of the National Congress for the Defense of the People rebelled against the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The rebels formed a group called the March 23 Movement, sponsored by the neighboring states' governments, Rwanda, and Uganda.

This conflict provided all regional and international parties (Burundi-Rwanda-Uganda) & (the United States of America- the European Union - Israel) with a means for the economic exploitation of Congo's resources, taking advantage of the Congolese authorities' lack of control over the mines in the east.

Regrettably, the Congolese state has not provided radical solutions to this conflict because the army suffers from low wages and neglect of junior recruits. In contrast, generals earn the vast majority of their income through lucrative economic privileges, bribery, and informal security contracts in eastern DRC, which means there is little incentive and interest in ending this conflict.

The "M23" movement formed from the "Union of Congolese Nationalists," a political group with an affiliated militia that controlled the eastern Congo region, founded by Thomas Lubanga in 2001, then led by Bosco Ntaganda from 2002 to 2005. After signing a peace agreement on March 23, 2009, the movement took the agreement's date as its name, stipulating the movement's integration into the Congolese army. However, the movement concentrated its presence in oil and gold regions, and conflicts with the army arose, accusing the Congolese government of not respecting the agreement regarding the demobilization and reintegration of its fighters.

This pushed the movement to lead a coup supported by Rwanda, launching several attacks against the army from border areas with Uganda in June 2012.

On November 20, 2012, the M23 Movement took control of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province. The conflict displaced over 500,000 people. On February 24, 2013, eleven African countries signed an agreement aiming to bring peace to eastern Congo.

In October 2013, the Congolese government announced that the March 23 Movement rebellion had effectively ended after the movement was confined to a small area near Rwanda. On November 7, 2013, the M23 Movement forces crossed into Uganda and surrendered.

After the 2013 peace agreement, many of the movement's fighters were integrated into the army. However, in March 2022, the "M23" movement organized itself again and managed to invade and seize major parts of the Rutshuru region adjacent to Uganda and Rwanda.

In May 2022, the movement invaded the "Rumangabo" base, the largest military facility for the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the northeast, then the movement's forces moved south towards the regional capital "Goma."
