| M23 rebels march from Goma to Sake |
Less than a week after taking Goma, and then repulsing a counter attack, they have now taken the city of Sake as well.
Government forces put up small fights along the way, but nothing has stopped M23 for long.
Rebel leaders have pledged to take the entire country, but the capital is almost a thousand miles from their current positions.
Whereas, Goma and Sake, are less than twenty miles apart.
Congo's government said they retook Sake from the rebels, but United Nations forces confirm that M23 still holds the city.
The UN again released statements calling for the end of foreign aid to the rebels, but in a marked difference did not specifically mention Rwanda, as doing so.
Meanwhile, Congo's President Joseph Kabila has sacked the head of his army, General Gabriel Amisi.
Sources tell us Amisi is under investigation for selling weapons to other armed forces, both foreign and rebel.
