Rwandan President Paul Kagame has urged Congolese leaders to engage in negotiations with the M23 rebel group following their recent territorial gains in eastern Congo.
The M23 rebels have captured significant towns, including Masisi and Katale, exacerbating the already tense situation in a region with a history of conflict.
Kagame stressed that ignoring dialogue with M23 reflects a lack of commitment to finding a political resolution to the ongoing conflict.
Despite Kagame's calls for negotiation, Congo has accused Rwanda of supporting M23 and has rejected this advice, with allegations of up to 4,000 Rwandan troops operating within Congo.
The situation remains precarious, as the conflict has displaced numerous individuals, intensifying the humanitarian crisis in the region.
