💨 Abstract

The Rwandan-backed M23 armed group in Democratic Republic of Congo threatened to advance on the provincial capital of Bukavu, citing a deteriorating situation, after declaring a unilateral ceasefire. Congo rejected calls for direct talks with the rebels and regional leaders urged immediate, unconditional ceasefire. The M23 seized the mining town of Nyabibwe last week, but have made no significant progress since.
