DR Congo says Rwanda forces back rebels The Congolese army on Tuesday battled M23 rebels in the country's volatile east, a day after at least 130 people were killed in the deadliest clashes in months. Army spokesman Colonel Olivier Hamuli said the Democratic Republic of Congo's forces were gaining ground in the battle close to the flashpoint city of Goma, as they sought to "wipe out M23", a movement launched in April last year by Tutsi defectors from the army. The Congolese ambassador to the United Nations meanwhile renewed accusations that neighbouring Rwanda is helping the rebels, saying "specialised units coming from Rwanda" were supporting M23 fighters outside Goma, the capital of North Kivu province.
