Rebels in DR Congo agree to withdraw from key city of Uvira as per US request to uphold peace deal. This decision follows US accusations of Rwanda backing the rebels, which Rwanda denies. The conflict has displaced around 200,000 people, with 74 casualties reported in recent fighting. The US aims to stabilize the region for potential investment in its significant mineral reserves.
