“Rwandan-backed M23 rebels said on Monday they would send a delegation to peace talks with Democratic Republic of Congo’s government expected to begin on Tuesday in Angola’s capital. ‘The five-member delegation is expected to leave for Luanda on Monday for dialogue at the request of Angolan authorities,’ Lawrence Kanyuka, a spokesperson for the AFC rebel alliance that includes the M23, said in a post on X. On Sunday, President Felix Tshisekedi’s office said Kinshasa would also send representatives to Luanda, reversing the government’s long-standing vow not to negotiate with the group.” (03/17/25)
