DRCongo & M23 Talks Could last over 2weeks

{{The renewed Kampala peace negotiations between the M23 rebel group and Democratic Rrepublic of Congo government are expected to last not more than two weeks, according to the chief facilitator Dr. Crispus Kiyonga.}}

This is in line with the directive by the regional leaders at the end of last week’s emergency meeting called by the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) regional bloc to end fighting in eastern DR Congo.

The representatives of the delegations Tuesday attended a press conference that was addressed by the chief facilitator, Dr. Kiyonga, who is also Uganda’s minister of defence. Present were François Mwamba representing the DR Congo government as well as René Abandi representing the M23.

Dr. Kiyonga also said that all parties in the conflict who include the M23, the government forces as well as the United Nations Intervention Brigade are expected to stop fighting in order to respect the ongoing dialogue in Kampala.
