Democratic Republic of the Congo–Rwanda tensions (2022–present) → Democratic Republic of the Congo–Rwanda conflict (2022–present) – I think this is more accurate now that many news sources are reporting that Rwandan soldiers are helping M23 in DRC territory, including the UN. Romanov loyalist (talk) 22:23, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree with this, it is clear that Rwanda and the DRC are directly engaged in clashes with each other, it definitely should be renamed to a "conflict" instead of just "tensions". Should the situation continue to escalate, labelling it a war should be on the table.

Support With the M23 offensive, this is definitely a conflict. WC gudang inspirasi (^{Read! Talk!}) 03:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I reject the arguments above but support the move. The definition of "conflict" is not limited to armed conflict. Yue🌙 05:26, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Exchanging fire along the border means this has gone much further than just "tensions", this is clearly a conflict now. GWA88 (talk) 15:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Makes it look like an understatement. Borgenland (talk) 05:13, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
