The Democratic Republic of Congo's government has announced a new agreement with the M23 armed group, which has been active in the eastern region since 2021 and is backed by Rwanda.
This agreement focuses on facilitating humanitarian aid deliveries, a critical need in a region that has endured over 30 years of conflict.
Additionally, the M23 group has committed to releasing prisoners within the next ten days, a move that may help to ease tensions in the area.
