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.

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.”
