M23 Vows to Liberate All of Congo

M23 soldiers celebrate as they enter Goma

Fresh off their victory in taking Goma, on Tuesday, Congolese rebels have now vowed to "liberate" the entire country.

M23 rebels took the town after the government's army fled as UN troops watched.

The UN has taken serious flak for that, but says that their job is to protect the citizens, not fight a war.

A serious change from just a few days before when they warned M23 not to come any closer to Goma, or they would face the UN troops in battle.

Now the UN Security Council has passed a resolution demanding that M23 leave Goma and other towns it has captured.

At the same time, the UN is praising M23 for their humane capture of the cities, as they haven't sacked or pillaged their conquests, as was expected.

As M23 gains ground, in also seems to be gaining support throughout the country, it's treatment of conquered territory is no doubt helping with this.

Congo's government is often derided for it's lack of action, and many Congolese are now seeing M23 as more effective.
