"I think that it will be hard for them (M23) to leave because we have witnessed what they are doing. Look, just behind us there, there is a checkpoint where every car passing towards Goma is obliged to pay around five dollars for a minibus."

STORYLINE
Fighters from the M23 rebel group remained on the streets of the town of Sake in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday, a day after their leaders said the group would pull out of the area.
"I think that it will be hard for them (M23) to leave because we have witnessed what they are doing," said local resident Michelangelo Bahuma.
"Look, just behind us there is a checkpoint where every car passing towards Goma is obliged to pay around five dollars for a minibus."
The M23 rebel group is made up of hundreds of officers who deserted the Congolese army in April. Since then the rebels have occupied vast swaths of territory in mineral-rich eastern Congo.
The rebels accuse Congo's government of failing to honour the terms of a 2009 peace deal that incorporated them into the national army.
The rebels took the provincial capital of Goma, and other nearby towns in eastern Congo without much of a battle last week, as the Congolese army fled in disarray and UN peacekeepers held fire.
