Congolese forces were losing control of the city of Goma on Wednesday after rebel groups backed by Rwanda took over the airport and shared plans to set up a new administration.

STORY: Congo's M23 rebels appear to have consolidated control over a devastated Goma.It is the second time the Rwandan-backed rebels have entered eastern Congo's largest city.But last time, in 2012, they soon withdrew and were defeated the following year.

Rwanda's ally Uganda, unhappy about another rebel group in DR Congo that threatens its security, has also been accused of helping the M23 - with its officers also spotted at Tchanzu. The UN experts say Uganda has also supplied weapons, hosted rebel leaders and allowed cross-border movements of M23 fighters - accusations Kampala denies.
