The M23 rebel group and the DRC government are at an impasse regarding a peace deal, with mutual accusations of violating a previous agreement mediated by Qatar. Scheduled talks in Doha failed to progress, especially after M23's absence cast doubt on their commitment. However, the group later indicated they would send representatives soon. The conflict, exacerbated by external influence from Rwanda, continues to escalate, with significant territorial gains reported by M23 and severe violence causing many casualties. Previous peace efforts mediated by regional nations have also fallen short of success.
Both the M23 rebel group and the government of the DRC have accused each other of violating previous agreements, complicating the peace process. Despite a scheduled peace accord, talks faltered when the M23 noted their absence in Doha, but subsequently promised representation soon.
Ongoing conflict in eastern DRC, particularly with the M23 group, has intensified despite prior peace agreements, demonstrating the challenges in achieving lasting stability in the region.
M23's claims of government violations and ongoing violence illustrate deep-seated issues in the DRC, where external support for armed groups further complicates peace efforts led by mediators like Qatar.
The international community, including the United States and the UN, has recognized Rwanda's backing of the M23, raising concerns about the broader regional implications of the conflict.
