M23 Backed by Rwanda — De Facto Map

M23 Backed by Rwanda — M23's ground · Backed by Rwanda · Eastern DR Congo.

The ground held by M23 in North and South Kivu, listed under Rwanda because Rwanda's army stands behind it: UN reporting notes that Rwanda exercises command and control over M23's military operations. It is not Rwandan territory, and Kigali denies directing the group. The map draws it in a pale Rwandan green behind a dashed Rwandan edge — ground Rwanda backs, not ground it holds.
