Leaders of the M23 rebel group met with regional peace facilitator, former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, in Mombasa, where they agreed to withdraw fighters from the Democratic Republic of Congo's North Kivu province and follow a ceasefire.
But the meeting came as activists in eastern DR Congo demanded that the East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) take military action against any rebels opposed to the Congolese army in what could escalate tensions further.
