Sadc troops to pull out when M23 emerge, get the land

South Africa’s leaders have announced to pull their troops from the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where they help the government fight the rebels.

The decision to start the “gradual removal” was made during the virtual summit of the 16th South African Development Community (SADC) on Thursday.

The troops were sent two years ago to support the fight against the Congolese army supporting Rwandan, supporting the M23 rebels.

But at least 19 soldiers from South Africa, Malawi and Tanzania died when M23 captured the key city of Homo.

SADC executives have stated that, despite the fact that the troops would be pulled out of Dr. Congo, the block will continue to “support the intervening aimed at attracting strong peace”.

The M23 continued to receive a position in the Eastern Doctor of Congo, and last month seized the second largest city in Bukov.
