Members of the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Fardc) stand guard against the M23 rebel group in Lubero, North Kivu Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo on October 27, 2024.
Congolese forces say a major “breakthrough” by M23 rebels has heightened security alerts in major towns in South and North Kivu provinces.
This admission emerged after the M23 gained ground in South Kivu, appending their usual battleground in North Kivu where they have often launched attacks.
