The Democratic Republic of Congo’s M23 rebels said attacks on areas under the movement’s control in the eastern part of the country may derail peace talks under way in Uganda’s capital Kampala.
A second round of meetings were concluded on Tuesday. At the beginning of this week the M23 lauded the progress being made at the talks, but are now bemoaning the attack on their positions, which they accuse the Congolese government army FARDC of spearheading.
The United Nations peacekeeping and stabilisation force Monusco on Thursday reported renewed fighting in the North Kivu province between the M23 and the Congolese army.
