M23 Coalition Refuses Exit: ‘DRC State Has Collapsed, We’re Staying’ – Nangaa

In a defiant statement from Goma, M23-AFC leader Corneille Nangaa rejected U.S. and DRC calls to withdraw from occupied areas in eastern Congo. Citing state collapse, Nangaa declared that it is the rebel coalition—not Kinshasa—that will restore authority in North and South Kivu. This comes after the Doha peace agreement between DRC and Rwanda.
