🇨🇩🇦🇴🇷🇼The Democratic Republic of Congo government and the M23 rebel group are to hold direct peace talks on 18 March.
A statement from Angolan President João Lourenço’s office said they would begin “peace negotiations” in the Angolan capital, Luanda.
Angola has acted as a mediator in the conflict in eastern Congo, which escalated in late January when Rwandan backed M23 militants took over mineral rich regions of Goma and Bukavu.
