M23 advances in DR Congo: Residents form defence group in Beni

The armed group M23 has launched an offensive in northeastern DRC, capturing several towns and villages from government forces in recent weeks. In response, local youths in the town of Beni are organizing a defense group to combat the insurgents.

Al Jazeera’s Alain Uaykani reports from Beni.

This is laughable. To capture and liberate kanyabayonga, m23 whooped congolese army, wazalendo, FDLR terrorists plus sadc, we saw over 500 trucks running away from m23 of which several were captured and these fellows think they can stop m23 to capture butembo or other areas 😂😂😂???? There has been over 100 rabel attacks by adf terrorists in congo claiming almost 400 lives while there's no one to protect the civilian population. Btw there are no killings of such in areas controlled by m23, people are working and going on with their lives and leaders are truly now working for the people.

This is a joke DRC army is running away from these rebels and they think they can stop them, it's a suicide mission

This is commendable but futile. The government should be ashamed.

This is utterly terrifying. M23 funded by the UK and EU. How is this Mad Max dystopia STILL HAPPENING!?

[janvierlion]

Involving the civilians in these conflicts and to give them firearms cannot generate to the DRC government the good outcome
