DR Congo army takes Kalembe town back from M23 rebels, spokesman says

Democratic Republic of Congo's army on Tuesday said it had taken back the eastern town of Kalembe a day after it was seized by M23 rebels. Kalembe, a small town in Walikale territory in militia-plagued North Kivu, came under M23 control on Sunday morning when rebels seized it from Congolese armed forces and the Wazalendo alliance of pro-government armed groups. Congo and the United Nations accuse neighbouring Rwanda of backing the group with its own troops and weapons.
