The UN Security Council has sanctioned Willy Ngoma, spokesperson for the M23 movement, as well as other members of this rebel group. This rebel leader is accused of belonging to the political or military leadership of Congolese militias.

The United Nations explains that some of these armed groups are supported from the outside and are obstructing the operation of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of their fighters.

Supported by the Rwandan army, the M23 destabilizes the eastern part of the DRC where it has not only caused several deaths and the displacement of Congolese people but also looted the wealth of the DRC.
