Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Members of the United National Security Council (UNSC) have told armed groups, including M23 rebels, in eastern DR Congo to withdraw from captured territory and disarm.<\/p>\n

In a November 22 statement, the UNSC said foreign armed groups should disarm and return to their countries of origin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe members of the Security Council called on all armed groups to immediately cease all forms of violence and urged all Congolese armed groups to participate unconditionally in the disarmament, demobilisation, community recovery and stabilisation programme, and foreign armed groups to immediately disarm and return to their countries of origin,\u201d the UNSC members\u2019 statement reads in part.<\/p>\n

Since the renewal of fighting in Eastern DR Congo by M23 rebels, activities at three key borders of Uganda and DR Congo have ceased. The Congolese government accuses Rwanda of backing M23 rebels, an allegation Kigali denies.<\/p>\n

M23 rebels have continued to advance towards Goma City at the same time cutting it from supplies from Uganda. This has negative impact on Uganda\u2019s export as Uganda tries to recover from economic challenges caused by the Covid-19 lockdown.<\/p>\n

Last week, the former President of Kenya, Mr Uhuru Kenyatta, said he had talked to Rwanda President Paul Kagame and they agreed that he urges M23 rebels to withdraw from captured territory.<\/p>\n

Regional leaders yesterday met in Luanda, Angola, to find solutions to the fighting in eastern DR Congo as M23 rebels continue to advance.<\/p>\n

Mr Kenyatta, who chaired a peace and security summit in eastern DR Congo, was joined by Angola President Joao Lourenco, DR Congo\u2019s President Felix Tshisekedi, the chairman of the East African Community, who is also the president of Burundi, Mr Evariste Ndayishimiye, and Rwanda\u2019s Foreign Affairs minister Vincent Biruta.<\/p>\n

At the meeting, DR Congo and Rwanda agreed to a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Deployment<\/b><\/p>\n

Kenya deployed forces under the East African Community in Goma City, eastern DR Congo. The Ugandan government said it will deploy troops in eastern DR Congo soon.<\/p>\n

Kenya President William Ruto, who visited his DR Congo counterpart Tshisekedi in Kinshasa, DR Congo, on Monday, said his administration \u201cwill do everything possible to ensure there is stability in DR Congo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two leaders agreed to form a joint committee to define the areas of cooperation with a focus on security, trade and investment,\u201d Kenya State House stated.<\/p>\n
