Human Rights Watch has released a report detailing the actions of the M23 armed group in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting allegations of forced recruitment and inhumane treatment of detainees.

The report indicates that thousands of individuals have been forcibly recruited by M23, which is reportedly backed by Rwanda, raising concerns about the group's conduct and the broader implications for regional stability.

These findings underscore the urgent need for international attention and action to address the human rights violations occurring in the region.
