The European Union is backing up the embattled UN forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo, railing against Rwanda’s support for the M23 rebel group in the latest war.

The EU’s vocal decision coincides with other global bodies, including the United Nations Security Council and the African Union, and the G7, all of who have voiced support for peacekeeping forces and condemned the M23.
