DR Congo: Fighting between army and M23 rebels leave civilians at breaking point

In Fizi territory, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, fighting is raging between Congolese soldiers, who are supported by local armed groups, and M23 rebels, who are allegedly supported by Rwanda. New recruits swell the ranks of the armed groups. And civilians are caught in the crossfire. A report by Aurélie Bazzara-Kibangula and Emmet Livingstone.
