Rebels within the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have vowed to take their battle to the nation’s capital – however their makes an attempt to march south are have been met by resistance.

Rwanda-backed rebels aiming to achieve energy have already captured Goma, a key metropolis in jap DRC.

At a briefing the place they sought to claim their management over Goma and its surrounding area, insurgent chief Corneille Nangaa declared: “We want to go to Kinshasa, take power and lead the country.”

‘There’s capturing everywhere in the metropolis’

DRC’s authorities has insisted it’s going to defend its place, with its president for calling for an enormous army mobilisation to withstand the rebel and its defence minister rejecting requires talks.

“We will stay here in Congo and fight. If we do not stay alive here, let’s stay dead here,” stated defence minister Man Kabombo Muadiamvita, a detailed ally of Congo’s president Felix Tshisekedi.

In the meantime rebels making an attempt to advance south met resistance from the Congolese military and its allies, a Congolese official stated.

A 1,500-strong pressure, together with troops from Burundi and native militias, defended the city of Nyabibwe, on the street to Bukavu.

Relations between Rwanda, which is backing the M23 group, and Burundi are already hostile.

Combating between their two armies in DR Congo would heighten fears the battle might turn out to be a regional battle – which the United Nations has already expressed concern over.

An African diplomat stated: “The Rwandan, Congolese and Burundian armies are already clashing on the ground in eastern Congo.

“The seize of Goma was a wake-up name for the worldwide group, which realises the hazard now.”

Hundreds of thousands of civilians died, largely from illness and malnutrition, throughout two main conflicts within the area between 1996 and 2003.

The M23 is especially made up of ethnic Tutsis, who broke away from the Congolese military greater than 10 years in the past.

The group is one in all about 100 which have been vying for a foothold within the area.
