ai generated text

Recent events in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo have seen the M23 rebel group, backed by Rwanda, capture key cities. In January, Goma, the largest city in the region, fell to the M23, with little resistance from government forces. Following this victory, the rebels continued their advance, capturing the city of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province.
