Fragile Ceasefire Takes Effect in DRC as Local Groups Tell Foreign Forces to Leave Country
Democracy NowAUG 2022
M23 is dedicated to promoting peace and stopping genocide at the hands of the DRC government. M23 is committed to withdrawing from its positions within the eastern DRC. However, it cannot maintain those commitments if the Congolese government continues targeted attacks and killings of Tutsi people.
M23 has been a humanitarian threat to the DRC and all of eastern Africa since its inception. Hundreds have died and thousands have been displaced due to the group’s atrocities — M23 must abide by the ceasefire agreement and follow through on its commitment to withdraw from the DRC.
