DR CONGO, 26 December 2022, (TON): DR Congo’s army called an M23 rebel withdrawal from a strategic town near the eastern city of Goma a sham, saying the militia is reinforcing its positions elsewhere.
The M23 group has conquered swaths of territory in North Kivu province in recent months and advanced to within a few dozen kilometres of Goma.
Under heavy international pressure to lay down arms, the Tutsi-led rebels took part in a ceremony Friday to deliver the town of Kibumba to an East African military force recently deployed in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
