Rwanda&#8217;s foreign ministry condemned the international criticism of its actions, asserting that areas taken by M23 were previously held by genocidal forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of January 5, relative calm returned to Masisi, allowing some displaced families to begin returning. However, humanitarian organizations warn that the influx of displaced individuals could worsen the already dire situation, with over 600,000 people displaced in the region by late November 2024.
