"The sending of the troops is in response to the heavy fire that M23 came under on August 23 and August 27 this year in Kibati, but the Congolese military, the United Nations Stabilisation Mission in DR Congo (MONUSCO) and Force International Brigade (DIB) forces are alert and ready," the sources said.
Habari za kiintelijensia ambazo gazeti hili limezipata zinasema kuwa, kutokana na shambulio hilo, Serikali ya Rwanda imelazimika kuingilia kati kusaidia waasi hao kwa kupeleka bataliani mbili zenye jumla ya askari 1,700 huko DRC, ili waweze kukabiliana na nguvu ya majeshi ya DRC, Monusco na Brigedi ya Majeshi ya Kulinda Amani ya Umoja wa Mataifa yenye mamlaka ya kujibu mapigo (FIB).
