Former election-chief-turned-rebel-leader Corneille Nangaa has gone from overseeing Congo’s contested 2018 election to leading a powerful insurgency against the DRC’s President Félix Tshisekedi.

Rwandan-backed M23 rebels say they are now in control of the key eastern Congolese city of Goma. Their fighters continue to claim more territory in one of the world's most mineral-rich territories.

The fall of Goma in North Kivu marks a temporary low point in eastern DRC’s decades-long turmoil.

The group’s announcement came hours after President Felix Tshisekedi called for a massive military mobilisation to resist the rebellion.
