Bishop expresses concern over the outbreak of conflict in Democratic Republic of Congo
Bishop Paul Swarbrick, lead bishop for Africa, has expressed his concern over the outbreak of conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The conflict, which began in January between the DRC army and M23 rebels who are backed by the Rwandan military, has displaced around 700,000 people and injured thousands more. Since then, the rebels have seized Goma, the largest town in eastern DRC, leaving hundreds of thousands in desperate need of humanitarian aid.
