A flurry of efforts are underway to curtail the renewed conflict in the Eastern portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where the M23 rebel group is on the march. M23 has been attacking and displacing residents of the DRC for a year now with, according to the UN, support from Rwanda. More than 355,000 Congolese have fled their homes in 2022 alone. Akilimali Chomachoma, journalist covering the Democratic Republic of Congo and Central Africa, explains what’s going on.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
