M23 rebels advance towards Bukavu after capturing Goma in DR Congo

Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have captured Goma and are now advancing towards Bukavu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This escalation follows intense clashes that resulted in the deaths of 13 Congolese soldiers. Civilians are fleeing as the rebels continue their offensive in the region. Reports suggest that the M23 militia may be targeting the capital, Kinshasa, next. The situation marks a significant shift in the conflict, with the rebels gaining ground and threatening major urban centers in the country.
