KINSHASA (Reuters) - The M23 rebel group has seized the town of Kalembe in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, expanding its reach in the region, an official and a former lawmaker said on Monday.
The Tutsi-led M23 has been waging an insurgency in the central African country's violence-torn east since 2022. Congo and the United Nations accuse neighbouring Rwanda of backing the group with its own troops and weapons. Rwanda denies this but says it has taken so-called defensive measures.
