Written by Smooth FM on December 16, 2025
In a significant development for the stability of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the M23 rebel group has announced plans to withdraw from the seized town of Uvira.
The Rwanda-backed group stated that the decision comes in direct response to a request from the United States government.
The withdrawal is seen as a gesture to de-escalate tensions and build trust for the ongoing Doha peace process. The conflict in the mineral-rich region has displaced thousands, and international observers are hopeful this move will pave the way for a more sustainable ceasefire.
