M23 rebels who captured eastern Congo's largest city said they want to take their fight to the far-off capital, Kinshasa. Congo’s president has called for a massive military mobilization to resist the rebellion, and his defense minister rejected calls for talks. Rwanda rejects allegations from Congo, the United Nations, and Western powers that thousands of its troops are fighting alongside the Tutsi-led M23. We get insights on the situation in a conversation with Michelle Gavin, Senior Fellow for Africa Policy Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations provides insights into the crisis.
