Congolese government and M23 convened for another round of peace talks in Switzerland
2026-08-29
[CriticalThreats] Key Takeaway: The Congolese government and M23 convened for another round of peace talks in Switzerland and discussed ways to jumpstart progress on the November 2025 framework agreement. Significant fighting between M23-allied fighters
... the March 23 Movement, also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army. The primarily Tutsi group was founded in 2012 as a sock puppet of Rwanda in the DRC, which no doubt seemed a good idea at the time. But in less than a year the Congolese army defeated them, and Rwanda publicly stepped back in response to international pressure. M23 started acting up again in 2021, possibly again at Rwandan instigation...
and pro-Congolese government forces continued in the Fizi and Uvira highlands in South Kivu. DRC coalition forces reportedly shot down an aircraft over Minembwe town. The Congolese government severed ties with higher education and academic institutions under M23 control.

Armed actors attacked M23 in eastern Rutshuru district in North Kivu. The Congolese media outlet Radio Okapi reported that armed men conducted several attacks on civilians in the Kisigari and Binza groups in the Bwisha chiefdom in eastern Rutshuru on August 23.[1] The outlet reported that the armed men also attacked M23 positions in Nkwenda and Kinyandoni villages in the Binza group.[2] Nkwenda and Kinyandoni are about eight and six miles north of Rutshuru town, respectively.
