From Doha Deals To DRC Terror: Army Spills On M23's Brutal Betrayal, Top Commanders Face Questioning

The spokesperson for the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC), Maj. Gen. Sylvain Ekenge, held a press briefing in Kinshasa, accusing the M23/AFC coalition of repeatedly violating the ceasefire agreed during recent negotiations. He said the attacks pose ongoing risks to civilians and urged mediators from the U.S. and Qatar to act decisively. Ekenge also confirmed that several senior Congolese officers are under legal house arrest for alleged national security violations. The briefing comes as renewed fighting threatens the Doha peace framework meant to end a conflict that has displaced millions in eastern DRC, amid accusations of external support for M23.
