Congo says 773 dead in weeklong fighting as military tries to repel Rwanda-backed rebels


At least 773 people were killed in eastern Congo’s largest city of Goma and its vicinity this week amid fighting with Rwanda-backed rebels who captured the city in a major escalation of a decadelong conflict, Congolese authorities said Saturday. The rebels’ advance into other areas was slowed by a weakened military that recovered some villages from them.
