Congo's M23 rebel group is ready to withdraw from occupied territory in the east of the country and will support regional peace-making efforts despite not being represented in talks, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Tutsi-led militia has staged several offenses in east Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) this year, gaining ground in the vast mineral-rich country despite push back from Congolese forces.
Each side has accused the other of instigating attacks. Congo on Monday accused the M23 of massacring 272 civilians last week, which it denied.
