Tensions are escalating in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where Rwandan-backed M23 rebels are battling government forces for control of the strategic city of Goma. Reports indicate thousands of Rwandan troops may have entered the region, heightening fears of a broader regional conflict.

Bloomberg reporters Simon Marks and Michael Kavanagh, who's covered the region for 20 years, join Jennifer Zabasajja to explain who the key players in the conflict are, what chance there is for a ceasefire and the risk this could spread into a wider regional conflict.
