DR Congo : M23 rebels say that over 2,000 police officers have surrendered
In the eastern DR Congo, M23 rebels backed by Rwanda have been consolidating their control in the towns they’ve captured during their lightning offensive. The rebels say that more than 2,000 Congolese police officers have surrendered and joined their movement. It is impossible to independently verify that claim, but police officers have been seen enlisting and being sent to training camps by the M23. Details by Catherine Norris Trent, France 24 senior reporter in Kinshasa.
