United Nations truck drivers and Congolese civilians who fled from Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, following fighting between M23 rebels and the army, cross the border post in Gisenyi, Rubavu district, Rwanda on January 28, 2025.
Tanzanian authorities on Tuesday said they were working on a plan to evacuate civilians in the besieged city of Goma in eastern Congo, as clashes between Congolese army and M23 rebels continued.
Government spokesman Gerson Msigwa acknowledged receiving pleas by Tanzanian truck drivers requesting help to get out of the battle zone, adding that the government was monitoring the situation closely via its embassy in Kinshasa.
