The city of Mushaki, located in the Masisi territory, about thirty kilometers north of Goma, was the scene of a drone attack that struck a local market, provoking outrage from human rights organizations. The Sauvons la RDC platform immediately reacted by calling on the international community to remind the Congolese government of its fundamental role in protecting civilians.

According to a statement released by Sauvons la RDC, this strike is described as "unacceptable and heinous," raising major concerns about the safety of civilian populations in the eastern part of the country. The statement emphasizes that "authorities must ensure the safety of populations" rather than using military means that could lead to civilian casualties.

Local sources report that the attack caused several civilian casualties, although exact figures have not yet been confirmed. This type of incident is part of a broader context of ongoing violence and instability in the region, exacerbated by conflicts between the Congolese armed forces and various rebel groups, including the M23.

Washington has also reacted to this situation by firmly condemning the drone strike. According to a report from Actualité.cd, the United States reiterated its call for restraint in the face of escalating violence in eastern DR Congo, including recent massacres near Uvira. American authorities emphasize the urgency of an adequate humanitarian response to alleviate the suffering of affected populations.

The security situation in North Kivu remains critical. Previous reports indicate that clashes between the FARDC and armed groups are increasing, creating a climate of fear among civilians. Protests have recently taken place in Goma to denounce Rwandan aggression under the guise of the M23, illustrating the growing discontent regarding the perceived ineffectiveness of the Congolese government to protect its citizens.

In this troubled context, the Sauvons la RDC platform calls not only for international awareness but also for concrete action to end the violence targeting civilians. It insists that the government must be held accountable for its obligations to its population.
