DR Congo News LIVE: M23 Rebels March into Goma, Thousands Flee | Rwanda-DRC Tension | N18G

Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi held a meeting with heads of constitutional bodies in Kinshasa on Monday (January 27), amid the worst escalation of a conflict that has run for more than a decade.
In recent weeks the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have made swift gains through eastern Congo's North Kivu province, before closing in on Goma, a city of nearly two million people, and forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes. M23, the latest in a string of Rwandan-backed insurgents who have fought a series of rebellions in the east against Democratic Republic of Congo's central government, took up arms again in 2022, a decade after a previous insurgency.
