Rwanda-backed rebels have “occupied” a second major city in mineral-rich eastern Congo, Congo’s government said Sunday, as M23 rebels positioned themselves at the governor’s office in Bukavu and pledged to clean up after the “old regime.”
Associated Press journalists witnessed scores of residents cheering on the rebels after they entered Bukavu following a dayslong march from Goma, a city of 2 million people they seized last month.
I’m sure this is probably a terrible humanitarian crisis (though I didn’t see if it was in the article)
…but without the term being defined at all until paragraph 4 and even there just barely, it’s tempting to assume that these rebels are from an open cluster of stars in the northwest of the southern constellation of Sagittarius discovered by Charles Messier in 1764
yea…I was thinking this horrible stretch of road.
