Description
Dozens of people atttend a rally in the northeastern DR Congo city of Beni, to denounce the actions of the Rwanda-backed armed group M23 amidst a recent escalation in conflict in the region. M23 has recently made significant gains on the battlefield, including the capture of the North Kivu provincial capital Goma last week and has vowed to march across the country to the capital Kinshasa. Some at the rally say they are keen to join the fight. "I'm not afraid, in fact I'm ready for it now. I'm asking the commander of the police, the FARDC, to give us weapons," says a demonstrator.
