On the other side, less than two miles away, dead bodies washed ashore while ammunition and discarded weapons littered the water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The shore of Lake Kivu in Rwanda offers leisure and relaxation. Across the border in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the same lake displayed devastation and misery after an armed group called M23 captured the lakeside city of Goma last month. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the January offensive, according to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is peaceful here, unlike over there,\u201d said Exauce Shalako, a 20-year-old man from Goma who was lounging on the shore of Lake Kivu in Rwanda one afternoon this month. Mr. Shalako, who said he had lost a friend in the fighting, had crossed into Rwanda for a day at the beach. \u201cWe need to unwind, to have a change of scene,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But while Rwanda appears peaceful at home, it is fueling war across the border. Thousands of Rwandan troops have invaded eastern Congo alongside fighters from M23, which is under Rwanda\u2019s control, according to the United States and United Nations experts. Rwanda denies backing the rebels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To cross from Goma to its sister city Gisenyi in Rwanda takes just minutes by land, but the two places feel worlds apart. In Gisenyi, a town of 50,000, restaurant owners adorn their beachfront properties with colorful decorations as the smell of roasted chicken fills the air. In Goma, a city of two million, the stench of death and the sounds of sirens wafted over the streets for days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>neighboring countries share a painful history but have little in common these days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rwanda is seen as a model of development across Africa. A country nearly 90 times smaller than Congo, it sponsors top European soccer teams and is known for its high-end resorts, where affluent tourists stay during expeditions to marvel at gorillas. Being here can give an impression of political stability and affluence, but many say beneath that veneer lies widespread surveillance, repression and unequal development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Congo, despite its dizzying natural resources, remains plagued by instability. Its eastern region is home to one of the world\u2019s largest displacement crises, dating back to the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide 30 years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe living standards are so different,\u201d said Th\u00e9oneste Bitangimana, a Rwandan real estate agent and pastor who lives in Gisenyi and works on both sides of the border. \u201cIn Congo the rich get richer and the government doesn\u2019t care. In Rwanda we\u2019re constantly trying to improve the way we live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Congolese have a different way of describing the wealth gap between the two nations: exploitation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">United Nations experts found that 150 tons of coltan \u2014 from which key minerals used in smartphone manufacturing are extracted \u2014 was smuggled out of Congo and into Rwanda by M23 last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re being looted for others to get rich,\u201d said Didier Kambale, a pastor in Goma<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>walking on a debris-littered street this month. \u201cWhy are they coming here?\u201d he asked about Rwandan troops. \u201cDo Congolese wage war abroad?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Though Rwanda\u2019s leader has said that the war in eastern Congo is a Congolese problem, the M23 offensive on Goma brought it one step closer to Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In its attempt to defend Goma, the Congolese army launched shells and bombs across the border in January, puncturing Rwandan homes and tearing roofs open. Sixteen people were killed and 160 injured in Rwanda. Thousands of people fleeing Goma found refuge in Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Shattered glass and wood still littered the floors as rain fell into Mr. Bitangimana\u2019s home this month. A shell had hit the roof of the real estate agent\u2019s brick and cement house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re praying for the two countries, because we need to live in harmony,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Gisenyi, children at school now talk of the war between Rwanda\u2019s president, Paul Kagame, and his Congolese counterpart, Felix Tshisekedi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t pick a side, it\u2019s too complicated,\u201d said Ariella, a 10-year-old living in Rwanda with a Congolese father and a Rwandan mother. Sitting at her home yards away from the border, Ariella said she played dead in her bed for hours one morning during the M23 offensive, fearing soldiers might \u201ccome to kill us.\u201d The fighting paused shortly after.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite the two different worlds on each side of Lake Kivu\u2019s shores, the beach in Gisenyi is also where people from Rwanda and Congo gather in peace. Mr. Shalako, the 20-year-old, said he crossed the border to tell his Rwandan friends that he was safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPoliticians want to make us believe that we are enemies, but we\u2019re brothers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In her living room, Ariella stopped her math homework to discuss the war. She said she was longing to visit her aunt who lives in Goma on her upcoming vacation, and \u201cdo all kinds of silly things over there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sitting in her Spider-Man pajamas, Ariella asked a question about the presidents from both countries that left a silence in the room: \u201cWhy can\u2019t they just make peace?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On one side of the lake, lovers glide on canoes, friends ride jet-skis and families pose for pictures in the hazy sunset.
