Congo and M23 Rebels Sign Peace Framework in Doha
The Doha Framework outlines eight protocols including ceasefire monitoring and humanitarian access as a roadmap to peace amid over 7 million displaced, the UN said.
- DR Congo and M23 signed the Doha Framework in Doha with US and Qatari mediators present.
- Backed by Rwanda, M23 rebel group captured Goma earlier this year, escalating fighting that killed thousands and is the most prominent of over 100 armed groups.
- The framework includes eight protocol chapters addressing root causes, with prisoner exchange and ceasefire monitoring already agreed, senior US adviser Massad Boulos said.
- Despite the ceremony, fresh attacks were reported as both sides accused each other of breaching truces and missing the Aug. 18 deadline, while Benjamin Mbonimpa warned the framework is not final.
- With over 7 million displaced, the humanitarian stakes are high as Qatar, the United States, and the African Union have mediated since April to restore state control and aid access.
