A Congolese FARDC soldier looks across closed gate barriers at the border crossing point with Rwanda in Goma
A Congolese armed forces (FARDC) soldier looks across closed gate barriers at the border crossing point with Rwanda following tensions between FARDC soldiers and the Rwandan troops in the town of Goma, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, September 15, 2013. Rwanda accused Congo of persistently shelling into its territory during the renewed clashes last month, saying such a "provocation" could no longer be tolerated. But U.N. officials told the U.N. Security Council that peacekeepers had seen only M23 rebels shelling into Rwanda. Picture taken September 15, 2013.
