 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. 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". Rwanda denies supporting M23 and has blamed Congolese and Burundian forces for the renewed fighting. A United Nations group of experts report published in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over t...

 Mozambique opposition leader sets terms for talks on election crisis


Mozambique's opposition leader said he would accept the president's offer of talks after deadly post-election unrest on terms including they be held virtually and legal proceedings against him are dropped.


President Filipe Nyusi invited Venancio Mondlane to his office in Maputo on November 26 after the killing of dozens of people in a police crackdown on demonstrations against the results of the October 9 election, AFP reported.


Mondlane, who says the election was rigged in favour of Nyusi's Frelimo party, is believed to have left the country for fear of arrest or attack, but his whereabouts are unknown.


"We are open to dialogue," Mondlane said in a Facebook live address. "It has to be a genuine dialogue, it cannot be full of traps."


A written reply to Nyusi's invitation lists as one condition for the meeting: "That the participation of the elected candidate Venancio Mondlane be virtual."


Authorities have laid criminal and civil charges against him, including for damages caused during protests by his supporters, which has led to his bank accounts being frozen.


Another condition in the document made public by Mondlane's office is that "the judicial proceedings in question must be immediately terminated".


It also lays out 20 points that Mondlane wants on the agenda for talks, including "restoring electoral truth" and prosecuting anyone involved in vote-rigging.


Others are a public apology and compensation for the deaths during the demonstrations, as well as constitutional, economic and electoral reforms.


Rights groups have accused Mozambique authorities of using live ammunition on demonstrators in the country, which has been governed since independence from Portugal in 1975 by Frelimo.


The Centre for Democracy and Human Rights civil society group says around 65 people have been killed. Mondlane on Friday gave a toll of more than 60. Nyusi said Tuesday 19 people had died, including five police officers.


The president is meant to hand over in January to Frelimo candidate Daniel Chapo, whom the election authority says won 71 percent of votes against 20 percent for Mondlane.
