Rwanda-backed M23 rebels breach second major city in Congo's mineral-rich east
Fox News
Rwanda-backed M23 rebels are reportedly occupying Bukavu, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the second major city in the country's mineral-rich east to fall under their control.
The rebels saw little resistance from government forces against the unprecedented expansion of their reach after their years of fighting. Congo's government vowed to restore order in Bukavu, a city of 1.3 million people, but there was no sign of soldiers. Many were seen fleeing on Saturday alongside thousands of civilians.
The M23 are the most prominent of more than 100 armed groups vying for control of eastern Congo’s trillions of dollars in mineral wealth that's critical for much of the world's technology. The rebels are supported by about 4,000 troops from neighboring Rwanda, according to the United Nations experts.
