The M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, announced their withdrawal from peace talks with the Congolese government, citing EU-imposed sanctions on their leaders as a prohibitive factor. Spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka stated that the ongoing military actions by the Congolese army also obstruct peace efforts. Despite the rebels' withdrawal, the Congolese government confirmed attendance at the talks in Luanda, Angola, where international involvement has escalated. The conflict has resulted in severe humanitarian crises, displacing over 7 million people amid allegations of resource exploitation by M23.
The militant group M23 has pulled out of Angola peace talks, citing international sanctions against its members as an impediment to further negotiations.
Lawrence Kanyuka stated that the ongoing military operations by the Congolese army further undermine the potential for meaningful peace discussions.
