AFC-M23 group leader Corneille Nangaa accused Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi of making a 'declaration of war' during a press conference in Goma on Thursday, following remarks about retaking territories held by the movement.

He argued that the comments amounted to an end to the Doha peace process.

Locals in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) questioned their government's decision to agree to receive 'third-country' deportees from the US, raising concerns over the 'fragile' security conditions in the war-torn country.

Footage captured on Monday shows general views of the streets of Goma.
