Mogadishu (HOL) — Heavy fighting between the M23 rebel group and government forces has plunged Goma, a major city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, into turmoil, disrupting lives, livelihoods, and trade. The escalating violence has killed at least 17 people, injured over 300, and forced thousands, including Somali business owners, to shelter in their homes as the city teeters on the brink of a humanitarian crisis.
