Angola on Saturday said it would send a military unit to the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) after the collapse of the ceasefire it brokered between the M23 rebels and the Congolese army.

Fighting in villages around the city of Goma has intensified, with both sides accusing each other of breaking the truce.
