💨 Abstract

M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, have announced a withdrawal of forces from the town of Walikale in eastern Congo, citing peace efforts. This move comes after they pulled out of talks with Congolese authorities due to EU sanctions. The government hopes this will lead to concrete action, but army officers remain sceptical about the announcement. M23 had earlier stated that they were leaving troops in Walikale as they pushed towards the capital.
