The fresh fighting comes when experts from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo continue to dialogue within the framework of the Luanda process
M23 rebels continue to gain ground in eastern DRC. The group who is reportedly backed by Rwanda seized Sunday (Nov. 03) the strategic town of Kamandi Gîte, according to media reports. Kamandi Gîte is located on the banks of Lake Edward and offers access to the city of Beni.
Local media cited sources on the ground to report that forced displacement was observed in the wake of the town’s fall to the hands of the rebels. M23 rebels faced self-defense fighters known as Wezalendo or patriots who are allied with the DRC’s armed forces.
The fresh fighting comes when experts from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo continue to dialogue within the framework of the Luanda process. Angola plays the role of a mediator between the neighbors. A meeting is scheduled on November 16.
