The #Rwanda deployed more than 4000 men to take defensive control of #Goma . This almost worked, but at the moment when the Rwandan army and the M23 were preparing to indulge in sensational triumphalism in the city, the FARDC led a lightning and simultaneous counteroffensive at RTNC Goma, at the airport and in Gisenyi causing a total rout. At the end of the day, Rwanda escaped with losses in human lives and several Rwandan citizens injured.
