[HIGHLIGHTS] Eastern DRC: last barrier before Goma, Saké remains in the hands of the FARDC but surrounded by the M23

Eastern DRC: last barrier before Goma, Saké remains in the hands of the FARDC but surrounded by the M23. Clashes between government forces and M23 rebels took place around Saké.

Saké is under the control of the Congolese armed forces, assures Patrick Muyaya. The intensification of fighting has caused the displacement of thousands of civilians, recalls Stephen Goetghebuer, head of Doctors Without Borders missions in eastern DRC. A surface-to-air missile, presumed to be from the Rwandan Defense Forces, targeted a UN observation drone last Wednesday.
