The border town fell in the hands of FARDC after a fierce fighting between the M23 rebels and the DRC army that lasted for almost a week.

FARDC has vowed to keep on pressing until they kick the M23 rebel group out of Eastern Congo.

Earlier the M23 rebel leader Bertrand Bisimwa left the Eastern part of Congo to Kampala where he is supposed to meet the M23 delegation team that is having peace talks with the DRC government.

On capturing Bunagana, the FARDC revealed that the M23 rebel group has been committing serious crimes that included torturing and killing people.
