Africa-Press – Angola. The Head of State, João Lourenço, met this Tuesday in Luanda with his counterpart from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, to discuss the situation in the east of the country.
According to a press release from the Angolan Presidency, following Félix Tshisekedi’s brief working visit to Luanda, the Angolan side, as mediator in the conflict affecting the east of the DRC, will establish contacts with the M23.
The intention is for delegations from the DRC and the M23 to hold direct negotiations to take place in Luanda in the coming days, with a view to negotiating a definitive peace in that sister country.
The two interlocutors have maintained regular contact to seek consensus, with a view to achieving peace, stability and security in the DRC, which is experiencing an armed conflict with the rebel troops of the M23, supported by Rwanda.
After the capture of Goma, capital of the province of North Kivu, in January 2025, the rebels advanced and took Bukavu, the second largest city in the east of the country and capital of South Kivu, on 16 February 2025.
