The Military Governor of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Democratic Republic died of injuries in Gama City, which was injured by the army and the "M23" rebellion.

Government and UN sources told a number of news agencies that Major General Peter Cirimwami Nkuba, who led the province since 2023, was shot shot near the front line on Thursday.

The specific situation of his death is unclear, but Sirimwami, who leads the province's army, is visiting the troops in Kasan, about 8 miles from the North Kawu provincial capital.

In the past two weeks, the M23 movement has occupied large territories in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and more than 178,000 people have been displaced. On Friday, it conflicted with the army in Goma. The United Kingdom, the United States, and France urged citizens to leave the city and warn that the situation may deteriorate rapidly.

Earlier this month, the rebels occupied Minoa, Qatar and Massi. On Tuesday, they controlled the town of Minoa, an important trading center of Goma, about 30 miles from the city. Two days later, they occupied the town of about 15 miles from Goma.

This progress caused panic in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The sound of bombs exploded in the Goma suburbs. On Thursday, hundreds of injured civilians were sent to major hospitals from the battle area.

Thousands of people fled the rebels and arrived in the suburbs of Goma.

The Congolese armed helicopter rushed over the plain at a low altitude, and a rocket was launched. The soldiers and trucks with cannons passed by, followed by a shabby Soviet tank.

Many sake residents escaped the progress of M23. On Wednesday, thousands of people fled to the battle by boat, crossed the north of Jiwu, and escaped from Goma's wooden boat full of goods. Some of them were on their heads with big burdens.

Neema Matondo said she fled Sacs when the first explosion occurred that night. She tells the scene where the people around them were torn into fragments and killed. "We escaped, but unfortunately others did not," Matong said.

Mariam Nasibu escaped Sacch with three children, and she was full of tears -one of her children lost her legs because of shells. "When I continued to escape, another bomb fell in front of me and hit my child," she said.

For decades of fighting between the army and rebels of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Congo, the world's largest humanitarian crisis has caused about 6 million people since 1998, and more than 7 million people have been displaced in China.

The University of Leeds University of Peace and Conflict Researchers Delfen Elfen Elfeniono said that the battle around Goma exacerbated the humanitarian situation. "Local residents are caught in a fire. If there is no safety, they can escape," he said.

The M23 is composed of the Tusxi people who left the Congo army more than 10 years ago. They are one of the hundreds of armed groups fighting the Congo army in the East of the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Minerals. According to the United Nations, the organization has more than 8,000 militants.

The United Nations said it controls the important Libaia in the mining area, which brings $ 800,000 (644,800 pounds) taxes for the production and trade of the minerals per month.

The Congo Democratic Republic, the United States, and the United Nations have accused neighboring Rwida for supporting M23. The Rwida government has long denied this, but last year said that it deployed the army and the missile system in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to ensure its security and pointed out that the Congo army assembled near the border.

In July, UN experts stated in a report that 3,000 to 4,000 Rwanda government forces and M23 worked together in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Experts said that the Rwanda army's "control and command of M23 operations also assumed Rwanda's action on M23."

In 2012, the "March 23" movement occupied Gema for 10 days, but with international donors stopped with assistance due to Rwanda's support for rebels.

On Thursday, UN Secretary -General Antonio Gutres warned the rebel offense.

In a statement he The promotion of "M23" has caused devastating losses to civilians and increased the risk of widespread regional war. The statement said: "Secretary -General called for M23 to stop the offense immediately."

Gutres calls on conflicts to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and "stop all forms of the Congo or foreign armed groups."
