The M23 rebels, supported by Rwanda, announced their withdrawal from upcoming peace talks scheduled to take place in Angola. The negotiations aimed to address the ongoing conflict in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The decision to withdraw was attributed to new European Union sanctions imposed earlier that day against M23 leaders and certain Rwandan officials.
In summary, the M23 rebels have halted their participation in peace negotiations due to newly imposed EU sanctions. This development raises challenges to efforts aimed at resolving the conflicts in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and reflects the impact of international pressures on local negotiations.
