As per reports, Rwanda-backed rebels in eastern Congo claimed Friday that they have seized a second airport in the region following a days-long advance, as the U.N. warned that the recent escalation of fighting with government forces has left 350,000 internally displaced people without shelter.
If sources are to be believed he Kavumu national airport was under the control of the M23 rebels or government forces.
Government officials and civil society leaders did not immediately comment on this development. More details and an official confirmation is awaited.
