DR Congo and M23 sign framework agreement for peace deal in Qatar

The recent signing of a framework agreement for peace between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the M23 rebel group in Qatar marks a significant step towards resolving the conflict in eastern Congo. This agreement comes after extensive negotiations, highlighting the urgency of addressing the violence that has plagued the region. The M23 group, which has been linked to Rwanda, has previously seized control of key cities in eastern Congo, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
