M23 Withdraws From Goma

M23 rebels have withdrawn from the city of Goma, Congo.

They did so eleven days after they practically walked into the city, after Congolese troops went running and UN forces sat and watched.

Their withdrawal was part of an agreement with the government, which both sides hope leads to a full pledged peace.

Under the agreement rebel forces will have to be at least twelve miles from the city, at all times.

It also requires Congo to only send police into the town, no military presence is allowed.
