  • M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, have seized the town of Masisi in eastern DR Congo.
  • This marks the second town taken by the M23 within just two days in the resource-rich North Kivu province.
  • Local officials express concern, stating the capture exacerbates an ongoing humanitarian crisis and urges a military response.
  • Rwanda's involvement includes allegations of deploying up to 4,000 soldiers alongside the M23, amidst accusations of mineral exploitation.
  • The Congolese government has yet to respond to the seizure, as tensions remain high following failed diplomatic talks.
