 Congo M23 rebels say they will withdraw from seized town to support peace push Rwanda-backed M23 rebels staging an offensive in east Congo said on Saturday they would withdraw forces from the seized town of Walikale in support of peace efforts, having previously said they were leaving troops there as they pushed on to the capital, Reuters reported. The government said it hoped the move would be translated into concrete action, after M23 this week pulled out of planned talks with Congolese authorities at the last minute due to EU sanctions on some of its leaders and Rwandan officials.

 US imports eggs from Korea, Turkey to ease prices Mr Brooke Rollins, Agriculture Secretary to the US President, Donald Trump on Friday confirmed the United States is importing eggs from Turkey and South Korea to ease an avian flu-fueled supply crunch that has surged prices across the country.
