DRC violence: UN relocates staff from Goma as Congolese army clashes with M23 fighters intensify

Congolese army vehicles head to the front lines on Goma's outskirts. Fighting against the M23 armed group intensifies. Congolese officials accuse Rwanda of backing M23, but Kigali denies involvement. The army vows to defend Goma with support from regional and UN peacekeepers. The UN relocates non-essential staff from Goma as 400,000 people have been displaced since the year's start. Bombings cause fear among residents. The decades-long conflict persists with failed ceasefires, making peace appear distant.
