Direct peace talks between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and M23 rebels are set to begin on March 18 in Angola's capital, Luanda, according to a statement from the Angolan presidency on Wednesday. This crucial development marks a significant step toward addressing the ongoing conflict between the DRC government and the M23 rebel group, which has escalated tensions in the eastern regions of the country.
The talks, facilitated by Angola, aim to find a peaceful resolution to the violence that has plagued the DRC for years. With both sides coming to the table, the negotiations offer hope for de-escalating the conflict and fostering stability in a region that has long been marked by unrest. The international community will be closely watching the talks as a potential turning point for peace in the Great Lakes region of Africa.
