In the Democratic Republic of Congo, anxiety is growing in Kinshasa.
Rwandan-backed M23 rebels are advancing in the east, spreading out across north and south Kivu and are now aiming for the city of Uvira.
This is happening at such a rapid pace that it is stirring up memories of events of three decades ago.
Many regional players are involved including Uganda, Burundi and South Africa.
And that is increasing concerns the conflict could spread beyond the DRC.
Can M23 rebels push all the way to Kinshasa?
And what are the risks the conflict may escalate into another regional war?
