Summit in Tanzania addresses ongoing conflict in eastern Congo

A summit in Tanzania is addressing the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo, where M23 rebels threaten the government. Leaders from eastern and southern Africa, including Rwanda's President Paul Kagame and Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi, are participating. The M23 rebels, accused of being backed by Rwanda, have captured Goma, a key city. Tshisekedi has resisted calls for dialogue with the rebels, despite increasing pressure from regional leaders for negotiations to resolve the crisis. The Congo River Alliance, a coalition of rebel groups, expressed willingness for direct talks with the government. Meanwhile, international calls for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Rwandan troops from Congo are growing.
