The M23 rebels have taken control of regional capital and have moved deeply beyond the east.

Hundreds of people were killed and hundreds of thousands forced their homes.

In the Eastern Democratic Republic, an invasive up to one week is being spiral by the Rwanda-supported rebels in a regional crisis.

The United Nations had last year estimated that around 4,000 Rawandan soldiers were involved.

Kinshasa says that the movement of March 23 (M23) wants control of the armed group region, which is rich in minerals.

Rwanda refuses to support the rebels and states that he has deployed soldiers to stop the fight from spreading in his area.

Leaders of southern and East Africa are trying to mediate between the two sides.

Will their efforts be successful?
