My latest for @TC_Africa on the worrying developments in Eastern DRC: coup rumours in Kinshasa, which is increasingly losing control; and Rwanda - & potentially Uganda -further expanding in the area. International pressure key to avoid further escalation theconversation.com/m23-rebe…

Some stats in my @Guardian piece on crime in Goma, which is soaring under M23 siege. 29 people killed in April -- a new record since the army killed 50+ protesters last year. In March, MSF was recording 700 rapes a week in Goma's displacement camps. theguardian.com/global-devel…

‘Bullet wounds are common’: crime rife in DRC’s rebel-besieged city of Goma
