Hundreds of M-23 rebels have signed an agreement with the Congolese
authorities in Uganda to end months of conflict in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. The deal comes barely two days after the UN,
Uganda and the D-R-C agreed on the return of over 184-thousand
refugees to Congo. Our correspondent Daniel Arapmoi reports about the
attempts aimed at ending the violence in the central African country.
A team of the rebel delegation gathered in Uganda to announce an end
to violence that has driven thousands of Congolese out of their homes
into neighboring Uganda and Rwanda. Among those applying for asylum
are rebels who fled the war in North Kivu province and sought the
protection of the Ugandan government. Some of them who spoke to Press
TV say they were encouraged by the recent agreement between Kinshasa,
the UNHCR and Kampala to repatriate Congolese refugees, who've been
trapped in Uganda for months. But majority of the M-23 rebels have
opted to apply for amnesty. Political analysts say it's a positive
step toward peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo and ending the
displacement of thousands of refugees scattered across East Africa.
The M-23 were mainly Tutsis fighting against the government of Joseph
Kabila in the Eastern Kivu province. Late last year they agreed to
attend peace talks facilitated by Uganda. According to the Nairobi
Agreement, those who've applied for amnesty will have a safe retune to
D-R-C to begin a new life.
