Congo and the Rwanda-backed rebel group M23 agreed Tuesday to establish an oversight body for a potential permanent ceasefire, an important step toward a peace deal, after efforts to end decades-long fighting in eastern Congo stalled in recent weeks.
The agreement was signed in Doha after mediation by Qatar, Congolese government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya announced on social platform X. M23 spokesperson Lawrence Kanyuka confirmed the signing and shared documents highlighting the terms of the agreement on X.
