M23 rebels aim to overthrow Kinshasa administration, researcher says, as UN warns of regional war

FRANCE 24’s Yinka Oyetade speaks to Dr Alex Vines, head of the Africa Programme at Chatham House, about the M23 offensive in eastern DR Congo. He says that the ambitions of the Rwanda-backed M23 differ now from their aims back in 2012, when they first set their sights on Goma, and one of the group’s objectives now is to overthrow the Kinshasa administration, it has been making alliances with other armed groups and some of them may be considering separation from the DRC.
