The United Nations is taking measures to protect its personnel in the Democratic Republic of the Congo as the M23 rebel group continues its advance, spokesman Stephane Dujarric
said on Wednesday.
"We have seen these reports that are obviously concerning, and we are also taking measures in order to [ensure] the increased protection of civilians and protect our own personnel," Dujarric told reporters when asked about reports of M23 moving south toward the capital of South Kivu province.
According to Dujarric, the situation in Goma remained tense on Wednesday, but it was also calmer.
