The United Nations and an incestuous network of academics, human rights groups, and international organization accuse M23 of looting Congolese resources, receiving support from Rwanda and/or Uganda, and various human rights abuses. Even as the groups amplify accusations that journalists uncritically report, core evidence remains sparse or exaggerated.
The refutation of United Nations and journalistic evidence is very strange to me. On what evidence does the author make these claims ? Can he point to independent sources supporting the claim that "core evidence remains sparse or exaggerated." ?
