Fighting rages in Goma as M23 and army clash - BBC Focus On Africa

Fierce fighting rages on in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma, as rebels and the army exchange fire. Rebels from the Congolese M23 movement say they have entered the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma and taken control. Sitting on the border with Rwanda and the shores of Lake Kivu, Goma is a vital trading and transport hub, home to more than a million people and within reach of mining towns supplying metals and minerals in high demand such as gold, tin and coltan. The rebels say they now control the city, but the Congolese government says its troops still hold some key locations. #goma #m23 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
