The M23 rebels who seized the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma last week are said to be gaining new ground despite their declaration of a unilateral ceasefire. The Associated Press cites officials and residents in eastern DRC who say that the M23 Wednesday took control of a mining town between occupied Goma and another provincial city, Bukavu. Reporter Al Katanty Sabiti Djaffar in Goma tells VOA’s James Butty, the M23 has also appointed a governor for North Kivu province and called for a general meeting Thursday
