Drc Leader Calls For Military Recruits As Rwandan-backed Rebels Advance

President Tshisekedi vows a vigorous and coordinated response to the M23 group Rwandan-backed rebels have pushed south and consolidated gains in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, as international calls for restraint appeared to have little impact on the ground. Local sources told Agence France-Presse that fighters from the M23 group had seized two districts in South Kivu province as they advanced towards the provincial capital Bukavu. There was no fighting in the latest advance, a local civil society leader said.
