The M23 rebels took control of Juma, the capital of the northern province of Kivu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Since their emergence more than three years ago, the Rwanda -backed rebels have made steadily through the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the seizure of towns and villages, and forcing people from their homes.
M23 is just one of the hundreds of rebel groups in the country and fights the army for years.
But the last escalation could represent a major shift, with serious effects on regional stability.
So, is diplomacy similar to an opportunity to defuse the escalating tensions?
