DRC, M23 make truce pledge

Cape Argus

|

April 25, 2025

THE Democratic Republic of Congo's government and the M23 group this week issued a landmark joint statement saying they had agreed to halt fighting in the east of the country while they work towards a permanent truce.

The surprise announcement follows talks mediated by Qatar. The two sides said they had “agreed to work towards the conclusion of a truce” in the conflict, which has seen the M23 seize key cities in the violence-battered region.

More than six truces and ceasefires have been agreed and then collapsed again since 2021.

UN experts and several western governments say the M23, which reignited the conflict in 2021, is supported by Rwanda.
