The resolution, introduced on March 17, 2025, expresses strong support for President Felix Tshisekedi and the citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in light of the ongoing violence and invasion by the M23 armed rebel groups, which are reportedly backed by Rwanda. It highlights the urgent need to protect civilians from these attacks and condemns the atrocities committed by the M23, including the killing of nearly 6,000 Christians since 2017. The resolution emphasizes the commitment of West Virginians to stand in solidarity with the DRC and calls for immediate humanitarian assistance and refuge for those affected by the conflict.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities, demanding the withdrawal of M23 forces and their Rwandan affiliates from DRC territory. It also insists on accountability for those responsible for crimes against humanity, including genocide and war crimes. The Senate directs that copies of the resolution be sent to key U.S. government officials, including the President, congressional leaders, and the Secretary of State, to ensure that the message of support and the call for action are communicated effectively.
