After the fall of Goma, death is still omnipresent: "Oh, Mama, why did we let you go back?"

February 20, 2025

The violence-torn Democratic Republic of Congo has entered a new phase now that the rebel group M23 has captured the city of Goma. But what is the new future promised by M23 worth?

For this report, we crossed into DRC via Rwanda; it’s the only way to get into the city, that is now under control of the rebels. Read the full reportage story here (with pictures by Sven Torfinn van Enckevort), on the De Volkskrant website.
