M23 staged a lightning offensive this year that allowed them to seize more territory in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo DRC than ever before.
The M23 armed group on Thursday denied accusations that its fighters had looted at least 500 kilograms of bullion from Twangiza Mining's gold concession in the DRC.
The firm operating in South Kivu province, much of which is under M23's control, said this week that M23 had 'secretly transported the gold through underground channels."
