M23 rebels announce ceasefire after Goma capture

The M23 rebels who seized the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma last week have announced a unilateral ceasefire effective today (February 4). In a statement Monday, the M23 said the ceasefire was for humanitarian purposes. The group denied that it was planning to capture the town of Bukavu or other parts of DRC. Meanwhile, Kenyan President William Ruto says DRC President Felix Tshisekedi and Rwandan President Paul Kagame have agreed to attend a joint East African Community and Southern African Development Community summit this weekend.
