The Congolese M23 rebels will sign a peace agreement with the Congolese government on Monday, after giving up their struggle during an offensive by the United Nations backed Democratic Republic of Congo army, last week.
Commenting on the latest developments, the united Nation’s Peace envoy, Mary Robinson, said
“It’s a very important step for peace in the Great Lakes because it enables us now to move forward.”
Robinson further outlined that the peace deal will be followed by operations to neutralise other rebel units in the area.
