Rebels take fight to Congo’s capital
Rwanda-backed rebels who captured eastern Congo’s largest city say they want to take their fight to the far-off capital, Kinshasa, while Congo’s president called for a massive military mobilisation to resist the rebellion and his defence minister rejected calls for dialogue. Congo’s Defense Minister Guy Kabombo Muadiamvita said he has directed plans for any dialogue with the rebels to “be completely burned immediately”. “We will stay here in Congo and fight. If we do not stay alive here, let’s stay dead here,“ said Muadiamvita, a close ally of Congo’s president.
