The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on January 28 to discuss the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as rebels captured the capital of the North Kivu province, the Algerian mission to the UN said on Monday.The alliance of rebel forces in the DRC, which includes the M23 group, announced on Sunday that they had captured Goma, the capital of North Kivu province. The head of the UN peacekeeping mission (MONUSCO), Bintou Keita, reported that M23 rebels and Rwandan troops had invaded the suburbs of Goma. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Rwanda to withdraw its troops from the DR Congo. In July 2022, a DRC-Rwanda summit took place in Angola after the intensification of the activities of the M23, which is fighting for the interests of the ethnic Tutsi minority in the eastern DRC. The DRC accused Rwanda of supporting the rebels, while Rwanda denied any connections with the movement. Both countries have repeatedly accused each other of shelling each other's border territories. At the summit, DRC President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart, Paul Kagame, agreed to deescalate relations between the two countries. The roadmap adopted by the two leaders called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of M23 militants from their positions in the DRC. However, the M23 militants said that they did not consider themselves obligated by the provisions of the roadmap.
