The M23 armed group will likely seize more territory in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and even push further into the country, Rwanda's regional ambassador told AFP Wednesday.

"Goma cannot be an end on its own, unless in between they get good dialogue and negotiation with the government in Kinshasa, which I doubt," said Vincent Karega, Rwanda's ambassador-at-large for the Great Lakes region.
