M23 Rebels Reluctantly Retreat under US Pressure The Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern regions have been shaken by the ongoing conflict between government forces and the M23 rebels.
After weeks of intense diplomatic efforts and economic pressure from the United States, the M23 rebels have finally withdrawn from their positions along the border with Uganda.
This complex situation is rooted in events dating back to 2012, when the M23 was formed as a coalition of local Tutsi led groups.
