DR Congo army takes Kalembe town back from M23 rebels, spokesman says
Congolese soldiers from the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) walk in line after the army took over an ADF rebel camp, near the town of Kimbau, North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo on February 20, 2018.
Democratic Republic of Congo's army on Tuesday said it had taken back the eastern town of Kalembe a day after it was seized by M23 rebels.
Kalembe, a small town in Walikale territory in militia-plagued North Kivu, came under M23 control on Sunday morning when rebels seized it from Congolese armed forces and the Wazalendo alliance of pro-government armed groups.
