A Congolese opposition figure, living in exile, on Friday announced the creation of a political-military alliance with M23 rebels and other armed groups in order to "save the country".
With the political and security climate in the Democratic Republic of Congo extremely tense in the run-up to December 20 elections, Corneille Nangaa, ex-head of the country's electoral commission, made the announcement in Nairobi, Kenya.
