For the second time this week one of the eight or nine global conflicts that convicted felon President Trump claims to have solved is unsolving itself as the Associated Press reports that the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have made gains in an offensive toward the strategic city of Uvira in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, displacing over 200,000 civilians and sending troops fleeing.
“There’s a risk of a massacre, and many people will perish,” said local leader Marafiki Masimango, who himself had fled from Uvira as the rebels approached the city. A “senior Congolese army officer” told the AP that soldiers were fleeing the rebel offensive and heading south and east toward the border with Burundi. Always a good sign when your generals are telling the media stuff like that.
