Rebels from the Democratic Republic of Congo M23 movement indicated today, that they were prepared to resume peace talks with the Congolese government.
The talks, which stalled in May, resulted in a special United nations force being launched against the rebels last month. The rebels , last week declared a unilateral ceasefire, following a week of heavy fighting.
The M23 leader, Bertrand Bisimwa, told the AFP,
“Our delegates are already in Kampala. They are ready to negotiate with Kinshasa immediately as soon as the request has been passed onto them by the mediator.”
