Yesterday night’s fighting west of Goma left at least 3 SADC peacekeepers dead (informal sources say more, incl. perhaps UN peacekeepers too) and dozens wounded. A UN APC was destroyed. North of Goma, M23 made a move into the city’s outskirts, but seem to have retreated again. 1/2
Amidst the clashes, consistent reports suggests that Pacifique Ntawunguka aka Omega, military leader of the FDLR would have been killed somewhere between Shove, Rusayo and Mugunga. Meanwhile UN personnel is partly been evacuated from Goma. 2/2
