M23 Rebels Launch New Offensive in Eastern Congo

The rebel group M23 has initiated a new offensive in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, capturing the town of Nyabibwe, located approximately 100 kilometers from the provincial capital Bukavu. Earlier this week, the rebels announced a ceasefire following their capture of the city of Goma last week, where at least 900 people died.

The ceasefire was supposed to take effect yesterday.
