It's good to see the EU and the US taking a firm stand with these sanctions. By targeting specific individuals and a group linked to the M23 rebels, they're focusing on accountability, which is essential in addressing the root causes of the conflict in Congo. Hopefully, this will pave the way for a more stable and peaceful resolution, but it's also crucial to keep an eye on the humanitarian impact and ensure aid can still reach those in need.

Finally, the EU and US are taking concrete steps to hold those fueling the conflict in Congo accountable; it's about time we prioritize human rights and stability in our foreign policies.

Do you think it's fair for external entities like the EU and US to intervene in conflicts of other countries through sanctions?

How do you feel about using sanctions as a way to influence countries or groups involved in conflicts?

If you were in charge, how would you balance the need to act against human rights violations with the risk of worsening the situation for innocent citizens?
