M23 rebels in DR Congo inch closer to Goma
M23 rebels in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo are reportedly close to taking a key strategic town, eight months into their latest offensive against the government.
They are just outside Sake, on the main east-west highway connecting the country's second-biggest city Goma with the capital, Kinshasa.
More than half a million people have fled M23's advance in the last eight months and more are fleeing now as the fighting approaches Goma.
Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb reports from the N2 highway, midway between Sake and Goma in Bulengo, Democratic Republic of Congo.
