TOPSHOT-DRCONGO-UNREST

TOPSHOT - A general view of the city of Bukavu following the takeover of the city by the M23 armed group on February 18, 2025. Traders and travellers packed their belongings and paid their fares early on Tuesday for the long boat journey across eastern DR Congo's Lake Kivu, the first sailing between the lake's two main ports for weeks after fighting disrupted the service. Fighting between Rwanda-backed M23 fighters and government forces has raged for months in the towns, villages and cities on the DRC side of the lake, which straddles the border with Rwanda.
