Rwanda has accused the army in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo of deliberately firing into Rwandan territory. The accusation was made as Congolese forces battled M23 rebels outside the city of Goma in eastern Congo. The rebels have given the Congolese government 24 hours to open peace talks. Gabriel Gatehouse is in Goma.

卢旺达指控邻国刚果民主共和国蓄意将战火蔓延至卢旺达境内。这一指控争对的是刚果部队在其东部城市戈马外与M23反叛组织的战斗。反叛组织留给刚果政府24小时以展开和平谈判。Gabriel Gatehouse在戈马报道。

A Rwandan official told the BBC that it was fired upon from inside Congolese territory. Around the middle of the afternoon, the streets of Goma echoed to the sounds of artillery or mortar fire apparently coming from the center of the city. There are also fresh clashes between rebel soldiers and Congolese forces just north of the airport. A senior rebel commander told the BBC early on Monday that he had not yet received orders to advance further, but added that his men were capable of taking the city if they decided to.

一名卢旺达官员告诉BBC，本国遭到了来自于刚果境内的枪火。大约正下午，戈马街道上到处回响着明显来自于市中心的火炮和迫击炮轰隆声响。与此同时，还伴随着机场北面传来的反叛士兵与刚果部队之间正在进行的噼啪枪声。一名高级反叛军指挥官告诉BBC，周一清晨，他没有收到继续战斗的命令，但是他补充道，如果他们下定决定，他们的士兵有能力夺取这座城市。
