BIG: Qatar Hosts Indirect Talks between M23 and DRC
Following efforts to mediate between Presidents Fรฉlix Tshisekedi of the Congo and Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Qatar is hosting an indirect negotiation process between the M23 rebel group and the Congolese government.
Since March 27, Qatar has received separate delegations from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the M23-led AFC coalition.
These talks are being conducted indirectly, with Qatari officials facilitating back-channel communications between the parties.
The AFC/M23 delegation is headed by Bertrand Bisimwa, president of the groupโs political wing, and accompanied by Colonel John Imani Nzenze, the movementโs intelligence chief.
