Footage released by the Democratic Republic of the Congo shows an airstrike being carried out against March 23 Rebel fighters in Eastern Congo. Optimistically, the DRC has stated that the November 8th airstrikes killed at least 40 of the fighters, leaving 15 wounded and in full retreat.
The March 23 Rebels, also known as the M23 Rebel Faction, are a minority Tutsi ethnic group that has close ties to the Tutsi people in neighbouring Rwanda. The group is named after a peace agreement they signed with the Congolese government on March 23, 2009. They have been in an open rebellion since April 2012.
