The Democratic Republic of Congo says it will not require the withdrawal of UN peacekeepers from its North Kivu province due to the presence of Rwandan forces and Rwanda-backed M23 rebels. The French News Agency (AFP) quotes the country’s foreign minister as saying the situation in the east of the country was not conducive for a troop pullout. Reporter Al Katanty Sabiti Djaffar in the eastern DRC city of Goma, tells VOA's James Butty, local people do not approve of an extended stay for the peacekeepers.
