Nairobi, Oct 30 (AFP\/APP): The African Union on Sunday said it was extremely concerned by the deteriorating security situation in the troubled eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where rebels have made fresh gains.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, AU chairman Macky Sall and AU Commission chair Moussa Faki Mahamat said they “express their extreme concern” at the failing security and appealed for calm and dialogue.<\/p>\n

“They call on all the parties to establish an immediate ceasefire, respect international law, the safety and security of civilians,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

The M23 rebels seized more territory in the vast mineral-rich DRC on Saturday, prompting the UN peacekeeping mission to increase its “troop alert level” and boost support for the army.<\/p>\n

The latest advance came as diplomatic relations between neighbours DR Congo and Rwanda worsened over support of the rebels.<\/p>\n

The authorities in Kinshasa, who accuse Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels, on Saturday, announced the Rwandan ambassador would be expelled; a move Kigali said was regrettable.<\/p>\n

The AU urged all the parties to engage “in a constructive dialogue” to ensure peace in the troubled region.<\/p>\n

M23, a mostly Congolese Tutsi group, resumed fighting in late 2021 after lying dormant for years, accusing the government of having failed to honour an agreement over the demobilisation of its fighters.<\/p>\n

It has since captured swathes of territory in North Kivu, including the key town of Bunagana on the Ugandan border in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
