Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi on says that the M23 rebel group had not fully withdrawn from areas it seized in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, accusing the militia of faking an agreed pullback of its forces. Regional leaders brokered an agreement in November under which the Tutsi-led group was meant to withdraw from recently seized positions by January the 15th as part of efforts to end a conflict that has displaced at least 450,000 people and sparked a diplomatic crisis between the DRC and neighbouring Rwanda. Speaking at that World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Tshisekedi says that despite international pressure, the group is still there. He goes on to say that they pretend to move, they act like they are moving, but they're not. They're simply moving around, redeploying elsewhere, and they stay in the towns that they have captured. Seeing that the country is also in election year, what could all of this mean?
