MONUSCO, the UN's peacekeeping mission in DR Congo, has hailed progress after Kinshasa and rival M23 rebels agreed to ease humanitarian aid deliveries and release prisoners within 10 days, following talks last week in Switzerland.
"The DRC and AFC/M23 (the parties) agreed on the critical importance of ensuring life-saving humanitarian assistance for the people of eastern DRC," a statement issued Sunday by both sides - mediators and other attendees - reads.
