M23 Rebels Still in Uvira Despite Withdrawal Pledge

M23 Rebels Still in Uvira Despite Withdrawal Pledge

The M23 rebels, who are fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo, said they would leave a town called Uvira.

But people living there say the rebels are still there.

The rebels want some things to change before they leave, and they say a neutral force should take their place.

The Congolese government says the rebels are just trying to trick people and take the focus off Rwanda, which is accused of helping the rebels.

The U.S. and Qatar are trying to help make peace, but fighting is still happening every day in the area.
