Over 400 Civilians Killed in Eastern Congo Fighting

Over 400 Civilians Killed in Eastern Congo Fighting

There has been a lot of fighting in eastern Congo, where more than 400 people have been killed.

A group called M23, which is supported by Rwanda, has taken control of an important city called Uvira.

This is happening even though there was a peace agreement signed by the leaders of Congo and Rwanda in the U.S. last week.

Both sides blame each other for breaking the ceasefire.

Many people have had to leave their homes because of the fighting, and some have even gone to the neighboring country of Burundi.

The U.S. and the U.N. say that Rwanda is helping the M23 group, but Rwanda says it is not.

The fighting is causing a big problem for the people living in the area.
