Rebels declare ceasefire in DR Congo for ‘humanitarian reasons’ | BBC News


The alliance of rebel groups in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have declared a humanitarian ceasefire starting on Tuesday.

In a statement, the group – which includes the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels – cited "humanitarian reasons" for the ceasefire, after capturing territory in eastern parts of the country.

The UN said at least 900 people have been killed and 2,880 injured in recent fighting in and around Goma, DR Congo’s largest eastern city, after it was seized by rebels.

The alliance of rebel groups – known as the Congo River Alliance – has accused the Congolese military of killing people using aircrafts to bomb areas it holds.
