Malawi pulls troops from DRC to support peace talks, despite recent rebel activity.

Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera has ordered the withdrawal of Malawian troops from eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to support peace negotiations. The decision follows a ceasefire declared by rebel groups like M23, but their recent seizure of Nyabibwe town has raised concerns. The withdrawal aims to facilitate peace talks, following the deaths of peacekeepers and pressure on the Malawian government. The exact timeline for the troops' departure is unclear.
