On Tuesday, a fresh attack carried out by the &#8220;March 23 Movement&#8221;, or M23 , targeted a Congolese army position in the territory of Rutshuru, just north of the city of Goma in eastern Congo.<\/p>\n<p>Just like an estimated 2000 people, Sarah Kasigwa was left homeless and traumatized. &#8220;We saw several dead people, the 29-year-old mother says. I lost my children and my husband in the chaos and I&#8217;ve been left with nothing. We are sleeping here, in this school, on the ground. There is just cement, no blanket, we suffer a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following the attack MONUSCO blue helmets were deployed on Friday.
