BBC News with David Austin.

由David Austin播报的BBC新闻。

Congolese refugees have become returning home to the strategic border town of Bunagana after government troops backed by United Nations forces drove out rebels from the M23 group. Residents cheered as government troops entered the town, the last remaining stronghold of the rebels who appealed to have fled to the hills. Here is Gabriel Gatehouse.

刚果的难民已经回到了国内的战略性边陲小镇Bunagana里了，由于联合国部队支持的政府军队把叛军从M23组织里驱赶出去了。当政府军进驻该镇时，居民们欢呼雀跃，这里本是叛军驻扎的最后一个根据地，而他们上诉要求逃到那些小山丘上去。Gabriel Gatehouse进行报道。

It's a remarkable turnaround in this year and a half long rebellion. In November United Nations troops had stood by powerless as rebel fighters briefly captured the regional capital Goma. The UN had pledged to protect the city and blamed the defeat on what they said was military backing from Rwanda. But for the UN force 18,000 strong it was embarrassing demonstration of their ineffectiveness. But injection of fresh peacekeepers earlier this year with a stronger mandate to actively take the fight to the rebels appeared to have turned the tide.
