The State Deparment suggested Rwanda or the M23 rebel group were responsible for the deadly attacks in the North Kivu province.

At least 12 people have been killed and dozens more seriously injured when displacement camps in Lac Vert and Mugunga on the outskirts of Goma were shelled.

"We are gravely concerned about the recent RDF and M23 expansion in eastern DRC, which has contributed to the displacement of more than 2.5 million people," it said in a statement.A spokesman for the Congolese armed forces said M23 rebels fired on the refugee camps after the military destroyed a rebel weapon and ammunition depot on Friday morning.

"There is now what we believe to be a last-ditch attempt, and I want to give peace a chance as much as possible...we're not always going to be patient like this, wishing for peace," Tshisekedi told DW.
