DR Congo's president has vowed a "vigorous" military response against Rwandan-backed fighters who advanced further in the mineral-rich east of the country after seizing most of the region's main city, where some residents tentatively emerged on January 30, 2025. The M23's capture of most of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, is a dramatic escalation of a decade-long conlfict that has seen it seize swathes of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
