Rwandan -backed M23 rebels seize control of town of Nyabibwe in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's South Kivu province.

The capture takes them a step closer to the city they said they had no intention of capturing.

Congo accuses Rwanda of using the M23 to pillage valuable deposits of gold, coltan, tin and other minerals.
