UN condemns M23 rebel offensive on DRC town as hundreds flee
Al JazeeraThe M23 rebels have seized areas of eastern DRC’s North Kivu province in a rapid onslaught since May. The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has condemned an offensive by M23 rebels in the east of the country that forced 450 people, including women and children, to seek refuge around its base in Kitshanga town. “The M23 must cease all hostility and withdraw from occupied areas, in accordance with the roadmap set out in the Luanda mini-summit,” the mission, known by its acronym MONUSCO, said on Twitter on Thursday. The Kitshanga attack is a new offensive by rebels who have seized areas of eastern DRC’s North Kivu province in a rapid onslaught since May that threatened the provincial capital, Goma.
