 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".

 Sudanese army ready for negotiations to restore unity: Burhan


Sudan Sovereignty Council Leader Abdel Fattah al Burhan has said that the army is ready for talks to “end the war and restore Sudan’s unity and dignity.”


Speaking in Atbara of northern Sudan on Saturday, while offering condolences to the family of army officer Muzammil Abdullah, who was recently killed in fighting in Al Fasher, he said no talks are currently underway with the Quartet (US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates) or any other party.


Burhan stressed that the armed forces “will keep fighting the enemy wherever it is found” and denied targeting tribes or regions, Anadolu Agency reported.


Long-running war


He said those who genuinely seek peace are welcome, but “imposing peace or a government on the people against their will is unacceptable.”


His remarks came ahead of planned Quartet meetings in New York to push for a peaceful solution to the war in Sudan.


The Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been fighting since April 2023, which has killed more than 20,000 people and displaced 14 million, according to the UN and local authorities.


In July, the Sudanese Founding Alliance, a coalition led by the paramilitary RSF, announced the formation of a parallel government led by RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, which the army strongly condemned and rejected.
