Rebel group’s advance has had a devastating toll on the civilian population, UN secretary general says
António Guterres has voiced alarm over the M23 rebel group’s advance towards eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo’s largest city, a renewed insurgency that has over the past two weeks displaced more than 178,000 people.
In a statement though his spokesperson, the United Nations secretary general said M23’s advance had had a devastating toll on the civilian population and heightened the risk of a broader regional war.
