https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide
This war comes from the times of the Rwandan genocide of the ethnical Tutsi by the Hutu militias - nearly 600.000 dead in the span of 10 days is the official estimate.
The M23 is backed by Rwanda - also denied - and they are supposedly fighting to persuade the DR of Congo to treat fairly the minority that took refuge there to avoid retaliation etc...
But the thing is that none of this is new and the key point is that North Kivu holds some very critical mines of Coltan and other that are as good as having money in the bank. So, ... there's motivation uh?
