M23 rebels take another town in eastern Congo despite ceasefire
Congolese M23 rebels are seen as they withdraw from the 3 antennes location in Kibumba, near Goma, North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo on December 23, 2022.
M23 rebels have seized control of a mining town in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's South Kivu province, eight sources said on Wednesday, in an apparent violation of a unilateral ceasefire they declared this week.
The capture of Nyabibwe on Lake Kivu takes the rebels a step closer to the provincial capital Bukavu some 70km south, a city the rebels said last week they had no intention of capturing. M23 announced a ceasefire on Monday.
