Rwanda-backed rebels take control of airport in Goma, eastern Congo's largest city
Rebels seized the airport of east Congo's largest city, Goma, on Tuesday, potentially cutting off the main route for aid to reach hundreds of thousands of displaced people, after capturing the city in an offensive that left dead bodies lying in the streets.
The rebels, which Rwanda denies supporting, have long been funded at least in part by the illicit mineral trade.
