GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) -The M23 insurgents who routed Congo’s army to take control of the eastern part of one of Africa’s most populous nations now face a task as mundane as it is daunting: governing.
The long-term success of their uprising – which aims to overthrow the current leadership in the capital of Kinshasa – requires showing they can bring order and prosperity to the regions they already hold. Whether they can pull it off depends in large part on reviving the economy in seized areas that are home to more than five million people.
