Fighting has resumed with heavy weapons early Tuesday morning between the Armed Forces of DRC (FARDC) and rebels in the villages of M23 and kakomero Mwaro.
Sources on ground say the rebels have circumvented the positions of the regular army, passing through the towns of Ngugo, Bisoko Rwaza and a consortium of Rugari, more than 50 km from Goma, capital of the province.
The population sector Rugari who fled to the Rumangabo military camp, is currently blocked by road following the detonation of bombs heard between these two localities.
sources say , residents fled towards the direction of Goma.
This is since last April that the FARDC are facing rebellion of M23 that creates a climate of insecurity in the east.
With a political wing, the M23 rebels are seeking negotiations with the government in Kinshasa including the peace agreement signed with the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP) in Goma, in the province of North Kivu.
Among other claims, the M23 request to the Kinshasa government to make efforts to eradicate negative forces in the east, including the Democratic Forces for the libértation of Rwanda (FDLR).
