Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31715, member: 636"] A rebel group called M23 has reported a terrible attack that killed ten members of one family in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The murders happened during the night between April 4 and 5, 2025, in a small village named Kanzana. Armed people entered the village around 9:45 pm and killed parents, children, and other family members. The M23 spokesperson, Lawrence Kanyuka, believes the attack was done by people working with the Congolese government. He explained that attackers took advantage of the fact that M23 had removed their roadblocks to make travel easier for local people. Kanyuka claimed the killers wanted to make M23 look bad and hurt their reputation. Nobody has officially said why the attack happened. The DRC government has not made any public statements about the killings. M23 says the murders go against efforts to find peace in the eastern part of Congo. They called the attack a terrible crime and promised to investigate who was responsible. The attack happened in an area called Nyiragongo, which M23 has controlled since late January 2025. The region includes an important city named Goma. People living there are worried about more violence happening. The killings have made everyone nervous about what might happen next. Lawrence Kanyuka said the attack hurts the chances of finding peace in the area. He believes the killers want to create more problems and make people feel scared. The M23 group says they are trying to find out who committed the murders and stop them from hurting more people. Local people are scared because they do not know who is responsible or why the family was attacked. The murders show how dangerous the situation is in eastern Congo. Different groups are fighting for control of the area, and innocent people often suffer because of these conflicts. M23 has declared it will work to find out what happened and bring the people responsible to justice. They want to show they care about protecting local people. The group says the attack goes against everything it is trying to do to make the region more peaceful. The murders have made an already difficult situation even more complicated. People living in Nyiragongo are worried about what might happen next. They hope that someone will stop the violence and help them live without fear of being attacked by armed groups. [/QUOTE]
