M23 is the most potent of more than 100 armed groups vying for control in Congo’s mineral-rich east, which holds vast deposits critical to much of the world’s technology. They are backed by around 4,000 troops from neighboring Rwanda.A weakened Congolese military fought back against Rwanda-backed rebels who the U.N. said were moving fast into the South Kivu province after seizing the region’s largest city and an international airport. The crisis, which the U.N. said killed 700 people this week, puts a second regional airport at risk.The rebel advance has left in its wake extrajudicial killings and forced conscription of civilians, U.N. human rights office spokesman Jeremy Laurence said Friday. “We have also documented summary executions of at least 12 people by M23” from Jan. 26-28, Laurence said, adding that the group has also occupied schools and hospitals in the province and are subjecting civilians to forced conscription and forced labor.
