Congo's Army and Rebels Escalate Conflict Despite Peace Talks

Imagine two groups in Congo fighting, the army and the rebels.

They've been trying to make peace, with help from other countries.

But, the fighting is still going on.

Both sides are sending more soldiers to the battle areas, and they're blaming each other for breaking promises.

The rebels want their friends released, and some land.

The government won't give up land or release prisoners.

This conflict has a long history, starting with a terrible event in a neighboring country.

The U.S. and Qatar are trying to help, but it's been slow.

It is a tough situation, and it's been going on for a long time.
