'The situation in Goma is still tense, but with MUNUSCO guarding the town the general feeling is that the M23 militias will not have a realistic chance of taking it. Thus far two territories have fallen, Rutshuru and Nyanzel, where Warrior have deployments. They appear to be advancing, and the Warrior guards at UNHCR have been holed up for over 3 days due to fierce fighting between the militias and government troops. Government soldiers are reportedly looting local villages and the population is horrified. We have managed to maintain contact with our guards, but are increasingly concerned for their welfare, with particular regard to food supplies.'
