In response to the M23s offensive, the Congolese government called for popular mobilization, triggering the rapid rise of the Wazalendo (patriots in Kiswahili) movement, with dozens of abusive Congolese armed groups rebranding themselves under this banner and aligning with government forces against the M23.[3] Authorities subsequently sought to institutionalize this mobilization by creating the Armed Defense Reserve (Rserve arme de dfense, RAD) and by arming, financing, and coordinating operations with Wazalendo factions and other militias, including the FDLR, although the extent of the armys command-and-control over these groups is unclear.[4] Government backing of these militias, including armed groups led by individuals implicated in past abuses, contributed to significant new violations and further eroded already fragile accountability efforts.[5] They also blurred the line between combatants and civilians, as weapons and uniforms were massively distributed without much oversight, training, or control mechanisms in place.[6] As Rwandan military forces and the M23 gained ground and consolidated control around Goma throughout 2024, over half a million people sought refuge in displacement camps surrounding the city, pushing the number of displaced people in North Kivu to about 2.4 million.[7] These forces used heavy artillery in attacks that indiscriminately struck densely populated areas in apparent violation of the laws of war.[8] Congolese forces and their allies carried out grave abuses, including killing, rape, arbitrary detention, and extortion against displaced people around Goma.[9] Attempts at brokering a peace agreement between the parties stalled, and by the end of 2024, an estimated 7.8 million people, nearly half of them children, were displaced.[10] By late 2024, the M23, led by Bertrand Bisimwa, and its political coalition, the Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC), led by Corneille Nangaa Yobeluo, expanded their territorial control across Rutshuru, Nyiragongo, and much of Masisi, including key mining areas, amid widespread reports of serious human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law
