M23 Takes Goma as UN Watches

M23 troops roll and march into Goma

M23 rebels have taken Goma, Congo, one of it's most important cities.

The thriving economic city fell extremely easily, on Tuesday.

United Nations troops, which had pledged to help protect the city, watched M23 take over the town, without firing a shot.

Congolese national troops, upon seeing the UN doing nothing, ran and left the city behind.

As the news reached other cities, riots began, as the people protested the weakness of their government.

While the M23 rebels only number a few thousand, they have been given aid from Rwanda.

It is unclear why the UN troops abandoned their pledge to Congo, but accusations of their leaders being paid off, have begun.
