What is the immediate impact of the M23's capture of Masisi on the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo and regional stability?

The M23 militia, supported by Rwanda, captured the city of Masisi in eastern Congo, marking a significant strategic setback for the Congolese army. This follows the failure of peace talks between Rwanda and Congo, with fighting intensifying since Rwandan President Kagame's absence from the signing ceremony. Masisi's strategic location, rich resources, and large Tutsi population make this a major victory for M23.
