Rwandan-backed M23 rebels were seen in the centre of eastern Congo’s second-largest city, Bukavu, on Sunday, said a local official, a security source and five eyewitnesses, as a spokesperson for the militia told Reuters: “we are there”.
The armed group had been advancing on the capital of South Kivu province since seizing the city of Goma in late January.
The fall of Bukavu, would represent the most significant expansion of territory under the M23’s control since the latest insurgency started in 2022.
