[REGNUM] Congolese army says rebels killed 50 civilians in eastern DR Congo

The armed forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) claim that March 23 Movement (M23) rebels
...also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army. The Tutsi group was founded in 2012 as a Rwandan sock puppet, which no doubt seemed a good idea at the time, but in less than a year the Congolese army defeated them, and then Rwanda publicly stepped back in response to international pressure. Recently M23 has started acting up again, possibly again at Rwandan instigation...
and their allies have killed at least 50 civilians in a massacre in the east of the country, Reuters reported.

According to the army, residents of the city of Kishish were attacked. At the same time, representatives of M23 deny the accusations and state that the movement is not involved in the massacres.

As REGNUM reported , on November 18, the head of Rwanda, Paul Kagame , and former President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta , called on the M23 group to stop hostilities and leave the occupied territories in eastern DR Congo.
