Thousands of people across Germany took to the streets on Saturday to protest the rise of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, just weeks before the general election on February 23. Demonstrators in Berlin gathered at the Brandenburg Gate, lighting up their phones, blowing whistles, and singing anti-fascist songs, while in Cologne, protesters carried banners condemning the AfD.  

The M23 rebel group says it has seized control of Goma, a major city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The announcement follows a rapid advance against Congolese forces on Sunday, which forced tens of thousands of people to flee nearby towns.
