Rwanda-backed rebels bed down in Congo's Goma and push south for further gains
Rwandan-backed M23 rebels asserted their control over east Congo's largest city Goma on Thursday by calling on residents to resume normal life, even as the group clashed with Congolese troops as they tried to take more territory.
the U.N. says Rwanda has sent thousands of its troops into Congo. Some 500,000 people fled their homes in eastern Congo as the rebels advanced on Goma, according to the U.N. refugee agency.
