Congolese rebels take control of Goma
Congo rebels have taken control of the eastern city of Goma after days of clashes with UN-backed Congolese soldiers, a spokesman for the M23 rebel group said.
Congolese rebels declared a ceasefire on Thursday after a four-day push to the gates of Goma that threatened to drag Congo back to all-out war, but heavy gunfire resumed near the eastern city after dark.
