The United States has voiced “grave concern” over ceasefire violations in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) by M23 rebels, according to a statement released by the State Department on Friday.
“M23 must immediately cease hostilities and withdraw from its positions in Walikale territory, North Kivu Province,” stated department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
The situation in DR Congo’s North Kivu Province has been tense, with M23 rebels accused of undermining peace efforts in the region. The U.S. call emphasizes the need for immediate action to halt the violence and stabilize the area.
The ongoing conflict has significant implications for regional security and humanitarian conditions, prompting international attention and concern.
