The M23 rebels have taken control of regional capital and progress more deeply to the east.
Hundreds of people killed and hundreds of thousands have forced their homes.
An offensive of several weeks by the rebels supported by Rwanda in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo turns into a regional crisis.
Last year, the United Nations estimated that nearly 4,000 Rwandan soldiers are involved.
Kinshasa says that the armed group of March 23 (M23) wishes control of the region, rich in minerals.
Rwanda denies supporting the rebels and says it has deployed troops to prevent fights from spreading on its territory.
The leaders of southern and East Africa are trying to mediate between the two parties.
Will their efforts succeed?
