The army recaptured its base in Rumangabo, the area’s largest, from the M23 but the rebels still appeared to control much of the surrounding area, said Emmanuel de Merode, director of the Virunga National Park, who is based in Rumangabo.
Ngoma said the M23 was now satisfied and had “no ambition of taking territory and conquering and administering it.” But when asked if the M23 might move on Goma, he added: “The day that will be necessary for our defence, we will not hesitate.” In 2012, the M23 captured Goma, a city of more than 1 million people, before being chased by Congolese and UN forces into Rwanda and Uganda the following year.
