YAOUNDÉ, Cameroon – As the situation gets worse in the DR Congo, the Director of Communication at Caritas Butembo-Beni has decried the desperation that has enveloped the people of eastern Congo following an upsurge in violence between the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels and the Congolese Armed Forces.
M23 on Wednesday took control of the mining town of Nyabibwe, located some 60 miles from the capital of South Kivu, Bukavu. And this came after it had also taken control of Goma – the capital of North Kivu Province – a town of over two million inhabitants.
