 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept." A report by a United Nations group of experts in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over the rebels.

RUBIALES MOTHER GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE AND EVEN LOCKED HERSELF IN A CHURCH TO SUPPORT HER SON.(PHOTO).



The mother of Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales, has locked herself inside a church and gone on a hunger strike in support of her son.



Angeles Bejar demanded an end to the 'inhumane witch-hunt' after he kissed Spain player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following their Women's World Cup triumph.


Rubiales refused to resign as president of the Spanish Football Federation but has been provisionally suspended by world football's governing body FIFA.


Bejar, a former hairdresser, has locked herself in the Divina Pastora church in Motril, east of Malaga in southern Spain, and started an 'indefinite, day and night' hunger strike until 'justice is served.'


Bejar demanded that Hermoso 'tell the truth' after the player insisted the kiss wasn't consensual.


As reported by Marca, she asked 'why are they being so cruel to him' and 'what is behind the story' since 'he is incapable of harming anyone.'


Family members arrived at the church with bottles of water at 2pm local time, looking to speak with Rubiales' mother.


They had with them a local doctor, who refused to speak to the press in attendance or answer any questions.


Angeles is believed to have sneaked into the church early this morning when a cleaner arrived and hid herself until she left.


The parish priest is away in holiday and services are only held twice a week in August and local media reported he would not be back to open the church until 9am on Tuesday.


Rubiales arrived in Motril at the weekend and is said to be staying locally with his daughters and has met up with friends who are 'backing him the whole way', according to the reports.


Luis Rubiales' cousin Vanesa Ruiz Bejar, speaking on behalf of her family, said outside the church: 'The statement I'm about to make is extremely difficult.
