Government forces will step up their offensive against M23 rebels, already reeling from setbacks in the ongoing conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), according to an army officer.
The officer, who declined to be identified as he was not authorised to speak to the media, said on Tuesday a planned attack would take place soon, according to the AFP news agency.
M23 have been pushed to their mountain holdout in the east near the border with Uganda after four days of fighting.
An officer from MONUSCO, the UN mission in the DRC, said Congolese troops were in the process of “reorganising, replenishing supplies and fine-tuning plans”.
