French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot met with Tshisekedi in Kinshas, after the French embassy, among other things, on fire to demonstrators who protest the inactivity of the international community.
The President Donald Trump described the crisis as a “very serious problem”, while the State Department advised American citizens to evacuate, but the muffled response to Western people can create opportunities for the Western peoples, such as China and Russia, for influence in the region.

What is M23?
The M23 is a rebellious group involved in the current ethnic conflict in the region since its establishment in 2012. years. The group mainly consists of ethnic tuts that claim to fight for the ethnic state for a minority in the country in the majority country.
The group was primarily formed as a result of tensions between the Tutsi-majority Rwanda and the DRC. In 1994, Hutu Militias in Rwanda committed what was later ruled, the UN who were ethnic genocide, with almost a million mostly ethnic tuts of slaughter.
During and after the conflict, the Ethnic Tutsi Group escaped the Eastern DRC, near the borders with Rwanda and Burundia, which is in danger of drawing to war. Peace Agreements, including the landmark one signed on 23. March 2009. years, they had mixed results. So, while some Tutsi rebels were integrated into the Congolesco army, others smashed into the M23 form.
UN said in the past that m23 received military stock and ammunition from the army of Rwanda. President Randana Paul Kagame, Tutsi former rebellation general, was charged with the support of M23. The group says the Congolism Government did not sufficient to protect ethnic tuts in the country, and Rwanda denies giving weapons to militants.
