Fierce clashes have broken out between Congolese forces and the M23 rebels in the Lubero territory in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The Congolese army backed by a pro-government militia is fighting to recapture territories the rebels took over last Friday.

Congolese government forces say they have received reinforcements from other parts of the country to fight the M23 rebels in Lubero territory.

The rebels captured the strategic town of Kanyongo and other villages in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo last week.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Charles Nyuykonge, a mediation and peace-building Specialist and an International Consultant.
