M23 rebels reportedly enter Bukavu in eastern Congo after government soldiers flee

M23 rebels have reportedly entered Bukavu, a key trading hub in eastern Congo, after government soldiers fled. This follows the rebels' capture of Goma last month, highlighting the Congolese Army's struggles. Local residents shared videos showing the rebels marching into Bukavu without facing resistance. M23 spokesman Willy Ngoma confirmed their presence in the city. Witnesses noted that Congolese soldiers had abandoned Bukavu, leaving it vulnerable to looting. The Congolese government has not commented on the situation, and the capture of Bukavu remains unverified.
