However, his plan has faced significant criticism due to the lack of concrete details about the troops, equipment, and logistical support that would be needed. On Sunday, senior military sources expressed their doubts about the proposal, with one source telling The Telegraph…

M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda, have announced they will withdraw their forces from the town of Walikale in eastern Congo, a move they say supports ongoing peace initiatives.
