Rubavu residents hope ‘DR Congo chaos ends soon

Residents of Rubavu town are still shaken by the death of some of their compatriots due to bombshells from DR Congo on Monday, January 27, but there is general feeling of cautious optimism that the chaotic environment across the border in Goma, the capital of DR Congo’s North Kivu Province, will end soon. It comes after the AFC/M23 rebels early Monday announced that they captured Goma but sporadic gunfire and bombing continued in the city, with some bombshells ending up in neighbouring Rubavu.
