East African leaders will meet representatives of armed groups on Monday, hoping to bring peace to the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The M23 armed group will not attend after rejecting international calls for it to disarm and withdraw from areas it has taken.
Al Jazeera’s @Malcolm Webb sent this exclusive report from the front lines near Kibumba, DRC.

Aj pink skinned staff a curse . Soon. This gutter media must be kicked out of congo Kenya Africa
Congratulations my beloved brother’s 💞💞💞🤗💞
Follow the money, and you’ll always find the source of conflict. Africans need to open their eyes more, and see who the enemy is. We don’t process minerals, but mzungu does. Open your eyes Africans.
It is a shame for a professional journalist and television to affirm accusations without tangible evidence which are not rumors against a country and not to ask the M23 the reason for this war against the government. it hasn’t been two weeks since they took border territories from RWANDA when they have just spent 5 years in the Uganda border virounga park
@Betting Tips the UN at the start of the clashes said they had no proof, it was after the demonstrations in Goma that they started to lie and fabricate proof that did not exist.
@Patrick Nzeyimana Un showed more than 4000 thousands troops coming from Rwanda into DRC on the border between Rwanda and Congo. Didn’t you see those videos? You guys should not be ashamed of accepting the truth. Your economy depends on stolen natural resources from Congo. That’s why you can’t survive without stealing diamonds and coltan from your neighbor and you have to satisfy your western backed countries
What evidence do you still need to make you belleive that m23 are kagame boys? All captured m23 been always confessing that they Kigali boys, all tutsis. Plus all killed have always been found in Rwandan army uniforms.
Dude,I take you closer your eyes when they spoke of the evidence presented. You are just a hack for Kagame the thief and Western agent.
@John LemboKagame fanboys cannot accept the truth that Rwanda is a fake country becoming rich through stealing Congo’s wealth with lots of backing from the West. Kagame is a CIA trained guy,he is loved in Washington,London,Paris,Berlin etc coz he helps the West get looted minerals from the Congo. It’s why Rwanda was number one exporter of Coltan despite not having coltan mines.
Journalist or the captain’s public relations officer?
All neighbors countries like Rwanda, Uganda and M23 have to leave the DRC. Otherwise, we gonna keep fighting them until JESUS comes back. And their dead bodies will be good for labor
Why is there silence on the killings against Tutsi in the army, the police, innocent civilians, and apartheid and hate speech against Tutsi and Rwandophones in the state apparatus and opposition leaders? why not mention the corruption and incapacity of the Congolese authorities and their links with the FDLR!
Ask yo killing machine kabarebe
Nyama zoba
Nyama Patrick. How many millions Congolese have you killed yourself
Tutsi u are even useless to advertise yo tribal ,this world has a lot of tribal know that u are not the best ba pygmies are better than u bkz they are heart full but u heart less.and hateness ,
remove all borders .. and the war will stop
Sad to see evergreen land with all minerals and blessed with food with no peace simply coz of few individuals personal interest.
Those Congolese soldiers looks like lebels 😂
You are the hater of peace. These sordiers have been fighting western countries which come in the name of Rwanda and Uganda for many years and they still fighting USA, Canada, UK, Israel, Uganda and Rwanda for many years
It’s better lebels Congo doesn’t have soldiers those you see are creaminers
@julie Ali Could you learn how to spell words before you comment on something? Thanks
@julie Ali learn how to spell first before commenting stupid things about Congolese
les paix pacifique en les mondes les terre riche un jour paix en les republique democratique du congo
Vous les politiciens de la RDC, vous ne comprenez toujours pas que chaque fois qu’on vous demande de cesser le feu, c’est un moment où ces autres dirigeants, ennemis de la RDC, sont occupés à réapprovisionner ces rebelles parce que les rebelles manquent de munitions et de nourriture. Cette guerre est une guerre stratégique. Est-ce que quelqu’un m’a compris ?
Ne cessez jamais le feu, ne laissez jamais le temps à ces rebelles de souffler sur leur blessure et ne négociez jamais avec les rebelles. Avez-vous déjà vu le Rwanda négocier avec les FDLR ?
Avez-vous déjà vu les États-Unis négocier avec des rebelles du Moyen-Orient ?
Most foolish race in the world Africans
I support congoo
Same here
Let us commit ourselves to creating a political environment that supports life and the improvement of the quality of life for all the tribes and communities in the EAC. Peace in a democracy is a complicated function of compassion and sound wisdom. Not senseless killings.
The richest country in the world rather
Congo will never have peace when two Western backed Museveni and Kagame are still in the power . Kagame and Museveni are CIA backed monsters who are trained by western countries to destroy Congo
Dictators Kagame and Museveni are the cause of the trouble in the region.
Rwanda and Uganda people must wake up, you can’t can’t be bullied forever…
The majority of Rwandans (Hutus) must decide who should run that country
@Al Jazeera, next time you speak to these displaced people, ask them the meaning of their names? Ask them which languages they speak which is their mother tangue? Ask them if they are congolaise? Then ask why are their names in kinyarwanda? And ask them whether they might not be misleading to say that other congolaise like them are rwandese? And ask those congolaise soldiers how they tell the difference between a Rwandan and a Congolaise native of north kivi?
@user55953 Asap if you dont know the story just shut your mouth , give me just one proof that the CONGOLESE government is arming rebels , sometimes you RWANDAN people should feel ashamed on being liers, since Kagame got power until today never and never the pretented interamwe attacked rwanda I said never and never the pretended interamwe soldiers attacked RWANDA, it s a theory created by KAGAME to find a way to always attack congo and never and never all refugee RWANDESE that congoles welcome in their country and give them citizenship those RWANDESE became CONGOLESE they never condemn the attacks of TUTSI RWANDESE rebels attacking drcongo .
Congolese are Bantu the rebel are Nilotic Tutsi the look the same as somalien,Eritrean
That’s the thing, they dont even ask them who they are fleeing from when we all know its their fellow congolese who want to do them harm just because they are Rwandophones.
You guys gotta know that Tutsi will never have anything in Congo. Those population hate M23 terrorists Tusti
@Jospin Fingy Yeah we know that they even murder them on a daily basis, so enough is enough for them.
Let me tell u the world DRC belongs to my land RWANDA for what my land want is peace simply, wait for this coming year no more such report on my province DRC, I me 👽👽👽 I promise u my lads including my little brothers westerns👫👫👫
Rwanda’s economy is built on stolen natural resources from Congo. If anyone stops Rwanda from stealing natural resources from Congo, Rwanda’s economy will collapse with days .
What’s in The Congo, and who wants it?
This how Kaguta Jowel Museveni of Uganda supported Paul Kagame RPF since 01/10/1990 to capture Rwanda. Now it is Kaguta Museveni of Uganda and Paul Kagame of Rwanda together supporting M23 in order to capture Dr Congo. It is a long term plan war of Paul Kagame of Rwanda and his uncle Museveni of Uganda to subdue The Great Lakes Region and create Hima Kingdom
This will never happen

Open bio fuel farms in entire africa.
Be careful when UN also known as NATO accuses another nations . They will bring confusion, they want the two nations to fight while they loot your resources.
What a biased report, how about the collaboration with the FDLR initially formed by former genocidaires, and with the complicity of Monusco, engaged in the field alongside the FARDC 🤔
Divide and rule people open your eyes this is exactly what they want us to believe what’s the difference between Rwandese and Congolese and Ugandans and Sudanese
Let M23 fight for the Tutsi rights because they’re also Congolese, M23 songa mbele
M23 are Rwandan proxies working to benefit Western imperialism.
They are terrorists Tutsi Rwandans killers
DR Congo landscape is breathtaking with its beautiful lakes and create envies from its neighbor Rwanda.
Not really! There is nothing in DRC that you can’t find I Rwanda apart from hate and divisionism
@GASPARD Oh! I forgot to mention the gold, coltan, diamonds, oil, timber etc, right?
@GASPARD Rwanda has nothing only cows and banana 🍌 you stupid
@GASPARD😂😂😂 I’m quite sure in Congo you can get freedom of speech, but in Rwanda your head will be cut off, if you criticize the regime….
@jjmbukasa Lets not focus on tangible things and stand on facts. Its the people fighting and doing the logistics not the Gold, cobalt, oil, you mention them wherever they are. Now if Rwanda rose from the 1994 Genocide against the tutsi, grew its financial status internationally making it one of the fastest growing economy countries, with less resources as you suggest (of which i partially agree) because we don’t fully depend on mother nature for our succes, then our brothers and sister as patriotic Congolese you should be doing just that. Otherwise these funny chats of who is right and who is wrong is just a waste of time. And also i totally disagree with the way the story is being told, its a shame. when will these international media start telling the truth about what is going on? Do they even say the truth any where else? I WONDER😏
Peace talks for DRC: with its allies / armed groups in Nairobi soon i hope they shall meet m23 in 2nd talks
Tutsi dynast wants to take Congo like they did Uganda !
You are poisoning the region dear. Stop those nonsense hate ideologies.
This will never happen brother
@Jospin Fingy It’s happened before. What tribe was Kabila. Never say never
Being rich is not enough for the country, the good government and political leadership is more important if not others. Can be benificient of these wealth.
STOP proxy war in Africa specially be carfull Rwanda and Uganda don’t executive western conspiracy.
Aljazeera always covers to the interest of its Masters, you don’t even think about the other side of Congolese being killed because they are Tutsi or Rwando-phones, when will you ever empathize with Africa and Africans you 🫵🏾 Big Medias,🤔 the brave should know that you are covering at the side of interest.
We are tired as Congolese Refugees but we’ve got no love for DRC government that doesn’t care about us!!!!
Congo Government need build home for they army and feed them build up the country lift up your people. Stop put money in your pocket
What does Rwanda want from Congo ???
Nothing. Not Rwanda but M23, a Congolese rebel group
Coltan,Gold ,Cobalt etc.
@GASPARD M23 is Rwanda and Uganda Army. They are foreigners. They are not Congolese
Build houses for the people of Congolese people and feed them stopped put the money in your pocket the Government wicked 🖤 heart
Rwanda seems to know more about the m23 ,,kagame should come open and tell the world the truth
You guys are dreaming
When you can’t win the battle it’s logical to acuse another country.
Congo is not Rwanda or Uganda or Burundi. Congo will never be Tutsi domination
this journalist should stop this insinuation about Rwanda and M23 we are tired. we all see and know what happening in congo and it is a repeated failure of the government all over years. they are more than 122 armed groups in DRC most of the rebel groups are sold arms by high-ranked officers and are owned by them or by politicians so that they can operate in the region with minerals for their benefits. in 2013 the m23 got defeated some came to Rwanda others to Uganda those who came to Rwanda got disarmed and established in camps where the DRC agreed to reintegrate them into their society. their arms were handed to the DRC government. as reported DRC army officers sold them back to other rebels. Released funds to help reintegrate m23 fighters into society. got ripped by corrupted leaders and that made the M23 fighter got angry and went back in the Nord Kivu forests. the Congolese government is currently working with FDLR which was responsible for the 1994 genocide and the current killing of kinyarwanda speaking community in DRC and the Tutsi community. we can’t sit here and let you keep talking about Rwanda on an international network just to promote your career. this should stop
as you heard from this, the DRC government is telling it army to stop fighting and retrieve when they are in a good position to defeat rebels. this is only for them to see their army failing and put pressure on the government. as there is a 1 billion us dollar budget that is being put in place for the DRC army to rebuild itself. so they are using all this tension by refusing to negotiate with M23 to push the release of these funds and also to push back elections for the benefit of the current leaders. all the money that would be released as usual will be shared between corrupted government and army officials without benefiting their population.
You been fighting for years no accomplishments in whatsoever rather loss of human lives and for what. You are the same people African and brothers, you need to reach to a point enough is enough. Sending young man to die! What else?
THE soldiers look like militias
These people keep using Rwanda as their scapegoat rather than tackle the issue at its source: the mistreatment of Kinyarwanda speaking Congolese.
Did you hear the evidence presented? I guess not coz you are programmed to systematically deny the evidence. There is footage of Rwandan troops crossing the border into Eastern Congo heavily armed,and meeting with M23,but Rwanda is always used as gateway to transport looted Congolese minerals to the Global North so Kagame gets paid by his Western backers,do facts mean anything to you?
Tutsi people are the problem in the DRC
@Ronald Madziro Whether Rwanda has anything to do with the war in Congo or not, the mistreatment of the Banyamulenge people will still be there if this issue is not addressed.
@Jospin Fingy Why is that?
I support Congolese people ✊. Peace must prevail
I wish, I was rich to support them with tents ⛺.
Which one because besides M23 that is treat to them because it want to whip out corruption and bring peace in East the rest of the rebels work with Kinshasa government, And they always meet in daily basis
So Malcom Webb is spreading falsehoods and it’s called reporting! No wonder Al Jazeera was closed in the US.
As a American citizen, can I join and fight for drc, exchange for citizenship there ?
You’ll be annihilated on day one small boy
@Jalil Babi you must be confused with yourself, nothing small nor there’s a boy here.
@Jalil Babi unlike you I took life and if giving the chance will to continue to take life to protect the ones who can’t protect themselves.
Best way to crush the M23 is for the West to stop pumping money to Kagame coz that is how he is backing those M23 terrorists. It’s time to bomb those terrorists and the West must stop giving Aid to Kagame and M23 will be no more. Kagame is a snake who works with Western imperialist to destabilise the Congo and steal their resources ,evidence against him is overwhelming yet he continues to systematically deny.
Now this just show cases how western media can be so biased this is 🗑
Be cerefore with these people you are bringing with the cameras what are they looking for.
You are busy taking photos of people who are running from poverty to no where.
You can protect them,you can feed them.
Wise up.
At least give them guns.
Tell them to go with you and fight.
Believe me they will at any cost.
Time for talking is long time gone.

Wait so Congo has air support and no one’s ordered their use? Interesting. Seems to me if the enemy and it’s acts were not only identifiable but empirically guilty you’d think the President or his proxies would be more than willing to go on the offensive. IJS. Oh it’s funny that a solider maybe an officer insinuates that M23 are the provocateurs of this war. Why are there not more statements from the president of DRC.
Malcom Webb is an foreign intelligence Agent wearing An al jazzera bagdet as a journalist divide to rule 😢

Thank you.
War doesn’t bring peace in DRC , peace become always in conversation and agreements both government and rebellion because surrender and run 🏃 away boarder doesn’t mean accepting to loss battle fields. They return ↪️ as home land to fight with no reason again and again. We need peace talking more than Gun and bomb 💥 in DRC to avoid calamity and destruction of infrastructure
Congo government please listen to the calls from your braves soldiers: give them air support and advance ground artillerist (this meant heavy bombardments of that hills which the Rwandan are using as their defense system and hideout points). This action will let a way for the army to pursue the Rwandese/M23 criminals easily
I support Congolese Government to dismantle this M23 rebels distablising Eastern Congo and also urge regional force to support Congolese Government crushing this rebels may peace prevail in Congo
Stop blaming Rwanda for Congo problems that’s been there for decades. Rwanda is not your escape goat. There will be fighting in Congo even if M23 retreats today. You are wicked and weak to deal with your problems thus do the blame game. The’re rebel groups like FDLR, ADF, and other 150rabel groups. You won’t solve anything by being disingenuous
Aljazeera misleading once again. You can tell how corrupt and unprofessional the congolese army is. It looks like a rag tag thug militia .
Why doesn’t Aljazeera interview the m23 themselves. You’ll see the difference and who the real criminals are. But Aljazeera doesn’t want the truth out. Because they are getting paid to spread this false narrative and propaganda. M23 have a just cause against the corrupt government of drc
When I heard kenyan troops have joined this conflict me thinks there’s something else afoot…our government doesn’t do things for free. Someone’s paying for it. I wonder who?
Rwanda is behind the suffering of DRC.
What a pity
The actual root of this MARCH 23 is what ? and what happened on that day ? . If you want answers to how leeching and power works. 🇨🇩🫡
This problem is structural to our african countries. First, the biggest error were the borders imposed by the colonisers under the Berlin Conference, second, when a country is under war it destabilizes the neighbors. Before Laurent Desire Kabila came to power Congoleses and Hutus and Tutsis were living in those bordering areas especially North Kivu, but mainly after the 2004 Rwanda Genocide the rebel Hutus are being searched by Paul Kagame who fears they found shelter in Congo and one day will come back to destabilize his government, so M23 are his watch dogs. Some of their ancestors were sherpards in that bordering area that’s why they say they are not Rwandans
I wonder why malcolm web always reports one side of the story, without caring to sift out propaganda from congo. Used the calm “to bring in reinforcement” really? Is this journalism or fanaticism? Does aljazeera even know how congolese soldiers can invent scenarios to cover for their incompetence? Malcolm web has always reported negative on Rwanda, why does aljazeera allow him to use their platform?
The world has ignored the fact that congolese tutsi are being killed and eaten on camera. We should all sympathise with M23, not those anti tutsi cannibals. M23 are fighting for the return and recognition of jinyarwanda speaking congolese who have been persecuted for decades, mobutu was removed because of his anti tutsi stance. Since the wntey of genocidaires forces who fled rwanda congo has never ben the same. They taught Congolese to hate tutsi. Now when tutsi stage an uprising, the world thinks they are just trouble makers. They are congolese fighting for the right to be congolese. They are openly harassed wherever they pass, told to go back to Rwanda yet they are congolese. This situation of hopelessness has led to birth of M23. Unless they are accepted, congo will never know peace. Mark my words
REMEMBER MAMADOU
little belgique caused all this chaos over the years. they never got serious about the success of congo from day 1. they abandoned the nation in its infancy and has never recovered. rwanda is not a country to be harrasing DRC, congolese never had a sense of nationhood.. thats why we have rwandese who are congolese and vice versa..sad
Sounds like unprofessional journalist to talk to one side please give interviews of M 23 if you really want to understand the truth
Those armed groups were created by the greedy politicians. So sickening they have led to the displacement of many people and thousands have lost their lives and property
war is a business, both parties are benefiting, how can the conflict end!
You have to start monitoring your health. As a country that is your responsibility. Even if simply maintaining a group of your own to obtain the health provision to pass your independent test and quality before it can enter the public. Public health is an economic factor and affects the performance and conditions of your country. In order to be independent and lead a successful society is to be actively creating a governmental health providing experience. They don’t live there, you do.
Funny that Rwand exports tonnes of gold and coltan and yet, it doesn’t have any deposits, as a Kenyan, I stand with people of Congo. Please have peace and get rich from the vast wealth you guys are blessed with. Although I’m coming to invest there we do business, legit business, i win you win…😅
Things Are not easy When you Are have jelous and poor neibours(Rwanda and Uganda)
The colonizers are busy at work, yet Rwanda is to blame
It’s sound and shows suspicious when guys roaming around with weapons which cost thousands of dollars and themselves have no single dollar in their pockets; comes from poor backgrounds;
It has ppl behind it; the manufacturing companies of these weapons getting rich while poor ppl loose lives; corrupt foreign cooperations getting rich and no foreigners getting hurt; only the poor citizens while their rich resources looted for more than a century
Don’t talk to white media this are the people who wants war there make war with the pen it’s time for black news to step in
I support peace in Congo, 🇳🇬
Yes because of mountains and rivers leading to poor roads which makes it harder for the troops to move with their acquirements
God is with Congolese army
Cry my beloved DRC
I don’t believe in your new media. I won’t be surprised to see that the west is fueling the conflict in DRC. I don’t agreed that Rwanda 🇷🇼 is supporting m23. Rwanda 🇷🇼 doesn’t have the finances to support m23 for all these years. We know who are exploiting DRC resources.
This clown 🤡 is back with more lies about Rwanda….. idiot
Mr. Journalist. You are being treated by those DRC liars. I’m sorry
One sided story …….too simplistic
Despite the economic downturn, I’m happy ☺️. I have been earning $60,200 returns from my $10,000 investment every 13 days
FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE, CAN EVERYONE JUST STOP THE UNNECESSARY WARS, FOR WHAT REASONS DO YOU HAVE WARS! WARS JUST MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE! RATHER SURRENDER YOUR LIVES TO GOD PLEASE, START PREACHING THE GOSPEL AND REPENT! GOD IS OUR ANSWER NOT WARS, PLEASE COME TO YOUR SENSES. AMEN!! GO ON YOUR KNEES AND ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS FOR ALL THE HATE AND DEATHS YOU CAUSED! WAR IS NOT LIFE, CHILDREN MUST STILL PLAY AND BE CARE FREE, COME TO YOU SENSES, INCE AGAIN, GIVE YOUR LIVES TO GOD, WITHOUT GUNS IN YOUR BLOODIED HANDS!

Killing each other won’t help u settle down n talk but wastern Countries are playing u there is no peace when western countries r there maybe u think they r supporting u for peace but they are dividing u wake up guys.
Rwanda is so small
The should be no peace between until crush the M23 rebels
As General Sanni Abacha said “an insurgence that lasts 24 hours has the support of people in government”. Let them stop blaming Rewanda for this and look inwards for solution to their problems.
Must never negotiate with terrorists.
Rwanda is a small country they want to expand
Kenya is in this country fighting alongside them…why are you showing poorly dressed poorly armed people👎
There is no need for deloge with M23, reable, if the Rwanda and Uganda are supporting the reable let the Congolese governments, should not go for any peace talk, in Nairobi, let them used Force to stop such issued.
