Wrong friends and enemies: Why rebels are on a winning streak in eastern DRC
M23 now has one hand on the Goma trophy. According to several reports, they have been seen in Buhumba, approximately three kilometres from the city centre of Goma.
Early in the week, the March 23 (M23) rebels seized the town of Minova in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a crucial supply route for the strategic North Kivu provincial capital, Goma.
In recent days, M23 rebels have also taken over the mining towns of Lumbishi, Numbi and Shanje in South Kivu and Bweremana in North Kivu province.
