00:00 On Wednesday, local media in the Democratic Republic of the Congo reported that the conflict
00:04 between M23 rebels and government forces is intensifying.
00:08 In this sense, and humanitarian sources confirmed that days of unrest have left dozens of wounded
00:14 and have increased tensions in Massissi causing displacements and collapse in the health centers
00:19 which according to a medical source in Saké have received about 20 wounded, mostly civilians
00:25 and some of them serious while another one in Minova reported about 30 cases of this
00:30 type.
00:31 Elsewhere, US Army Spokesman General Sylvain Ekenge told reporters that there had been
00:35 heavy fighting for control of a section of the road link in Saké and Minova, a small
00:40 town in neighboring South Kibu province.
00:42 Two North Kibu territories, Rutsuru and Massissi, have been miring conflicts since 2021 as rebels
00:48 of the M23 movement clash with government troops.
00:56 We woke up this morning to the sound of bangs and explosions.
01:00 We realized that we were all going to die and decided to flee as best we could and have
01:05 just arrived here on foot.
01:07 But from Saké there are a lot of bangs in the hills.
01:11 There were a lot of gunshots and we had to get away.
01:14 We are asking the government to help us restore peace because it is our land.
