UN Security Council urges M23 to cease offensive in eastern Congo

The UN Security Council has called for the M23 rebel group to halt its offensive in eastern Congo. The council urged Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to resume peace talks regarding the conflict and foreign military presence. The council condemned Rwanda's alleged support for M23 and criticized external forces in the region. It demanded their immediate withdrawal, although it did not name these forces directly. Concerns were raised about GPS jamming linked to M23 operations, which poses risks to civil aviation and humanitarian efforts. The U.S. specifically highlighted Rwanda's involvement in these activities.
