The Democratic Republic of Congo and the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group are set to engage in peace talks in Angola amid escalating conflict in Congo’s mineral-rich east. Initially, M23 rebels withdrew from the talks after the EU imposed sanctions on their leader and Rwandan military officials. However, they later confirmed their participation, sending a five-member delegation to Luanda at the request of Angolan authorities. The Congolese government has also committed to the negotiations, signaling a potential diplomatic breakthrough. The outcome of these talks could significantly impact the ongoing violence and regional stability.
