Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>AFC\/M23 has reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire, even as it accuses the Congolese government coalition of repeatedly violating agreements during Qatar-mediated peace talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe repeated ceasefire violations perpetrated by the Kinshasa regime seriously undermine de-escalation efforts and force a dynamic of total war against AFC\/M23,\u201d the movement’s spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka said Thursday, February 26 in a post on X.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the rebel movement \u201cremains resolutely committed to strict adherence to the ceasefire and the obligations arising from the Doha Agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Doha agreement, referenced by Kanyuka, forms part of diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing hostilities and paving the way for a political resolution to the conflict in eastern DR Congo.<\/p>\n

His statement comes just two days after the rebel group accused the government coalition of launching coordinated attacks on multiple fronts, including the use of attack drones and heavy artillery in densely populated areas.<\/p>\n

In earlier statements, the group said the airstrikes targeted both its positions and densely populated civilian areas, describing the alleged operations as a violation of international humanitarian law and a threat to an already fragile humanitarian situation.<\/p>\n

AFC\/M23 officials have warned that continued military offensives risk derailing ongoing de-escalation efforts.<\/p>\n
