M23 rebels agree to withdraw from Uvira, DRC, per U.S. mediation, as part of fragile peace efforts amid ongoing conflict and regional tensions.
The M23 rebel group announced it will withdraw from Uvira, a key city in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, at the request of U.S. mediators, calling the move a trust-building step for peace talks.
The decision follows the group’s recent capture of Uvira near the Burundian border, which triggered a refugee crisis and intensified regional tensions.
While the U.S. and UN have accused Rwanda of supporting M23, Rwanda denies involvement, blaming Congolese and Burundian forces for ongoing violence.
The withdrawal is part of broader peace efforts led by Qatar and backed by the U.S., though the Congolese government has not confirmed its acceptance.
M23 also proposed a 5-kilometer buffer zone, but fighting continues in nearby areas, and the future of the peace process remains uncertain.
