 militant group following Friday’s deadly complex attack which killed 37, and injured dozens of others.

Wazalendo tries to push M23 outta Nyamilima,the M23 matches for Ishasha and Nyakakoma.

After yesterday's  easy take over of Nyamilima,the Wazalendo lamented of lack of reinforcements both in terms of food and military ammunition,they Wearingly had managed to take on M23 along the Kiseguro and Kinyandongyi axis for 5 day but could not handle anymore because of hunger ,they instead had to retreat via kabende,Busanza and to ishasha leaving leaving nyamilima without Any soldiers.Today,M23 and Wazalendo militiamen clashed this morning around Nyamilima aas wazalendo wanted to push off M23. The militiamen claim to have pushed back the M23/AFC which was trying to advance and conquer the town of Ishasha on the border with Uganda and the town of Nyakakoma on the banks of Lake Edward.However the M23 are going to sleep in Ishasha.Ishasha town has been captured 

The border town of Ishasha, in the Binza group, 60 kilometers from Rutshuru-Centre, fell into the hands of the M23 rebels on Sunday August 4 early in the afternoon.

This fall comes after several hours of fiece fighting that took place in the morning in Buganza about 4KM from Nyamilima, the last stronghold between the rebels and the Wazalendo.

This means the majority of large towns in Rutshuru territory are now under M23 occupation and a very strong boost to the M23 .

According  to reports from civilians around the border,Several law enforcement, intelligence and state agents from DRC crossed the Ugandan border into Uganda on Saturday after the capture of Nyamilima, who indicates that about 10% of the population of Ishasha have fled the city to take refugee.

A report from civilian says:

 "  I am right here next door, at the Ishasha-Uganda border. For the moment, the population feels a little calm. There are at least 10% of the population who have crossed over to Uganda. The government, police and intelligence agents are all already on the other side  ."

Alot of claims are that Busanza and Binza are thought to be a strong hold of many key FDLR elements and key operations are expected in this part of Rutshuru.

A brief meeting of the top m23 commanders on this operation axis has been held late afternoon hours of today,and apparently M23 is determined to take on other areas ,and notably area around lake Edward.With enmassing of reinforcements ,expected to arrive by 9:00pm,the M23 is expected to reap an overwhelming victory over the non reinforced and hungry wazalendo.On interview from the Frontline  one resident sarcastically told us if the M23's reinforcements drops in ,fighting the waalendo will be like "kwasa ikibonobono".Yes,as far as iam concerned the reinforcements are coming and M23 is going to capture more land .

By 5:00PM the M23 had just arrived and completely taken over nyamilima center without a fight because the Fardc had not been there since the fall of Vitshumbi.

Some young wazalendo who were still in the area have just retreated to Ishasha, 20 km from nyamilima. 
Sources affirm that the rebels have ambitions to go as far as Ishasha on the border between Uganda and the DRC, thus allowing it to have an easy route to Lake Edward which connects 3 territories including  Rutshuru, lubero and Beni by its extension of nyakakoma-vitshumbi- kasindi- kamandi to kyavinyonge.
