The rebel leader whose fighters seized Juma, the largest city in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, pledged to continue their attack all the way to the capital, Kinshasa.
Cornell Nanga, who heads an alliance of rebel groups that includes the M23, said their final goal is to overthrow the government of President Felix Chesikdi.
Uninterrupted reports indicate that Rwanda -backed rebels are currently moving towards Bocafo, the second largest city in the east rich in minerals, despite international calls for a ceasefire.
In a televised title after the fall of Goma, TSHISECEDI said that “a strong and coordinated response” is ongoing to restore land from the rebels.
“Check one thing: the Democratic Republic of the Congo will not allow itself to be insulted or crush. He said on Wednesday evening: “We will fight and win.”
The fighting forced about 500,000 people from their homes, which has already increased a distinctive humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations.
On Thursday, Nanga provided the rebels as new officials to Juma, and they told reporters that they were there to stay and will receive services and operate them again.
Since the fighting escalated last week, the city’s electricity and water supplies have been cut off, and the food has been rare.
“We will continue the editorial march all the way to Kinshasa,” Nanga added.
Analysts say such an attack will be unlikely to look at the vast size of the country – Kinshasa is 2,600 km (1600 miles). However, this happened in 1997, when the forces backed by Rwanda toppled the leader, Moboto Sis Siko.
Nanga’s comments will increase anger in Kinshasa, who accused Rwanda with the support of the rebels, and even the presence of its forces in Goma.
Rwanda also faces a choir of international criticism, despite the denial of direct military support.
M23 – The Group of the Main Tourists in the Alliance – led by the ethnic totsi, and says it has taken the weapon to protect the rights of the minority group in the Congo.
Rwanda Paul Kagame’s president is also Tutsi, and accuses the government of Dr. Congo of providing the Huto militias that participated in the genocide in Rwanda in 1994.

Both the United Nations and regional writing in South Africa have the Special Security Forces in the East, but they failed to stop the rebel attack.
The peacekeepers were killed from several provinces in the conflict, as South African forces were higher -13.
On Wednesday, Kagami said that Rwanda was ready for a confrontation with South Africa if necessary, following the request of President Cyril Ramavusa that the M23 fighters and the Rwandan forces were responsible for death.
In a strongly formulated statement on X, Kagame Ramaphosa was accused of distorting their own conversations.
“If South Africa wants to contribute to peaceful solutions, this is good and good, but South Africa is not in a position that allows it to the role of the peacemaker or the mediator. And if South Africa prefers confrontation, Rwanda will deal with the matter in that context on any day,” he said. .
The exchange represents a major escalation in tensions between the two countries, whose relationship was fragile for several years.
South African leaders are scheduled to maintain a Friday summit, when Kagami said that their regional forces “are not the peacekeeping force, and they have no place in this position.”
On the other hand, TSHISECEDI praised the SADC soldiers, “The Fighting Next”, as well as the United Nations peacekeeping forces.
The United Nations, the European Union and the countries, including the United States and China, called on the Rwandan forces to leave Dr. Kongo.
The United Kingdom and Germany are among the donor countries that threatened to withdraw its aid to Rwanda in the wake of the M23 attack.
UK Foreign Minister David Lami said on Wednesday that 32 million pounds (40 million dollars) of annual bilateral aid were at a threat, while Germany canceled aid talks with the country.
