Kenyan President William Ruto said Monday that East African troops would 'enforce peace' in embattled eastern DR Congo, where the M23 armed group have launched an offensive.

KINSHASA - Kenyan President William Ruto said Monday that East African troops would "enforce peace" in embattled eastern DR Congo, where the M23 armed group have launched an offensive.

The M23, a largely Congolese Tutsi militia, has seized swathes of territory across North Kivu province, edging towards the region's main city of Goma. The M23 first leapt to prominence 10 years ago when it captured Goma in 2012, before being driven out and going to ground. Ruto said he was aware that there are already peacekeeping forces present in eastern DRC - alluding to the thousands-strong United Nations force - but suggested that East African troops would be more forceful.POLITICAL DIALOGUE
