Congo takes Rwanda back to UN court over decades of bloodshed

The Democratic Republic of Congo has taken its neighbor Rwanda to the International Court of Justice, accusing it of responsibility for decades of violence, including killings, rape, and persecution in its eastern regions. The Congo claims the roots of this conflict can be traced back to the 1994 Rwandan genocide, arguing the U.N.’s highest court should address these issues. This move is significant as it seeks to hold Rwanda accountable for actions that have destabilized the region and underscores the ongoing impact of historical conflicts in shaping current geopolitical tensions.
