Dr Cono Summit directs army chiefs to impose a ceasefire news

M23, backed by Rwanda, closes on the town of Kavomo in southern Kivu in the attack of leaving thousands of dead and large numbers.

The African Leadership Summit directed the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The meeting, which ended in Tanzania on Saturday, gathered the leaders of East African Society (EAC) and the 16 -member African Development Society (SADC).

He also called for the opening of humanitarian corridors to evacuate the dead and the wounded.

Rwanda’s armed armed group seized lands in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is rich in minerals, in the attack leaving thousands of dead and displaced huge numbers. Rwanda denies M23 military support.

The group took the strategic city of Gouma, the capital of North Kivu Province, last week and pressed to the neighboring south of Kivu in the last episode of decades -lashes in the region.

The summit came amid on Saturday reports that the M23 was closing on the city of Kavomo in the south of Kivu, which hosts a decisive airport to supply the Congolese forces.

“We call on all parties to achieve the ceasefire, specifically on the M23 to stop further progress and armed forces from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to stop all retaliatory measures,” said William Roto, President of Kenya, the current president of EAC.

Since the appearance of M23 in 2021, peace talks hosted by Angola and Kenya have failed, and many ceasefire have been shown. The attack sparked fears of the regional war, given that many countries are working in support of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including South Africa, Burundi and Malawi.

A United Nations report said last year that Rwanda had approximately 4,000 soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the smuggling of the country from the country huge amounts of gold and two colors, which is vital to phones and laptops.

Rwanda accuses the Republic of the Congo Democrats of finding FDLR, an armed group created by the ethnic Hotos that slaughtered the tutche during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

On Friday, the President of the United Nations Rights Volker Turk warned that “if nothing is done, the worst may not come to the people of the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo but also outside the borders of the country.”

Turk said that nearly 3,000 people were confirmed and wounded 2880 wounded since M23 Goma entered January 26, and the final fees are likely to be much higher.

He also said that his team was “currently verifying multiple allegations of rape and rape in gangs and sexual servitude.”
