SADC troops to pull out as M23 rebels gain ground

Southern African leaders announced that the government will attract the army in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, which helps the government to fight the rebels.

The army was dispatched two years ago to support the fight against the M23 rebels that Rwanda supported to fight the Congo army, and controlled many of the eastern DR CONGO, which is rich in minerals this year.

At least 19 people from South Africa, Malawi and Tanzania died when M23 occupied GOMA, the largest city in this region in January.

Thousands of people were killed during the battle and hundreds of thousands of people fled home without a refuge.

There was a concern that the battle could expand due to a wider regional conflict.

The M23 continued to enter the ground in the eastern Congo and seized the last month, Bukabu, the largest city in the region.

South Africa’s deployment was greatly criticized by the public and opposition party following the killing of the soldier.

In February Malawi said the army would withdraw from Dr. Congo. He didn’t give me a reason.

Dr. Congo’s decision to start “step -by -step withdrawal” was made at the virtual summit of 16 South African development communities (SADC) in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe.

SADC leaders said that the army would withdraw from Dr. Congo, but Block said, “We will continue to support intervention aiming to bring continuous peace.”

There is no reason.

SADC demanded a diplomatic and political solution for disputes.

Previous efforts to bring peace to Dr. Congo were not successful.

This has been the third emergency summit of SADC for Dr. Congo in recent months.

It is not clear how many SADC troops are in Dr. Congo, but 5,000 troops will be sent.

South Africa, which led the mission, was to deploy 2,900 troops and the rest was to share between Malawi and Tanzania.
