Hundreds of people descended on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo's city of Goma on Monday, chanting for weapons to fight Rwanda, as M23 rebels continued their advance on the North Kivu province. The protesters accuse its smaller neighbour of actively backing the militia, and on the weekend, the government asked the Rwandan ambassador to leave. FRANCE 24’s Aurélie Bazzara-Kibangula and Justin Kabumba report.
“We, the young people, are ready to fight the Rwandan enemy and the international community,” Alexis Kambale, a young demonstrator, said as he and hundreds of other men protested what they say is Rwanda’s – and also Uganda’s – involvement in the increasing unrest fomented by the rebels.
