The rebels took control of Goma, the capital of the mineral rich province of North Kivu after meeting poor resistance from the Congolese Army and a UN peacekeeping force who'd vowed to protect the city. M23, which was formed after a mutiny in the army, are refusing the leave the city despite pressure from the leaders of neighbouring countries. The UN has accused Rwanda and Uganda of backing the M23, saying the chain of command actually ends with Rwandan Defence Minister James Kabarebe. The latest move has added to a growing humanitarian crisis in Congo with around 500,000 people having been displaced by the rebellion since it began in April. Almost Over 2,500 adults and 4,500 children currently live a a makeshift refugee camp at the Dom Bosco school on the outskirts of Goma.
