M23 rebels took control of regional capital and deeper progress in the East.
Hundreds of people were killed and forced hundreds of thousands of their homes.
A week -long attack by Rwanda -backed rebels in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo turns into a regional crisis.
Last year, the United Nations estimated that nearly 4,000 Rwandan soldiers are participating.
Kinshasa says that the armed group on March 23 (M23) wants to control the area, which is rich in minerals.
Rwanda denies the support of the rebels and says it has deployed forces to prevent fighting from deploying to its territory.
South and East African leaders are trying to mediate between the two sides.
Will their efforts succeed?
