UN Security Council to vote on resolution for Rwandan troop withdrawal from Congo

The UN Security Council plans to vote on a resolution demanding the unconditional withdrawal of Rwandan troops from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The resolution also calls for the M23 rebel group to cease hostilities and withdraw. The M23 has recently captured major cities in eastern Congo, raising concerns about escalating conflict. Rwanda denies supporting the rebels, claiming it is acting against Hutu militias. The resolution, drafted by France, emphasizes Congo's territorial integrity and calls for urgent talks. It requires at least nine votes in favor and no vetoes from the five permanent members to pass.
