Hundreds of protesters marched in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s eastern city of Goma have protested against an agreement between African leaders to stop attacks by M23 rebels.

The Tutsi-led M23 group is waging its most serious offensive in eastern Congo since 2012, further destabilising an area where armed groups have wrangled over land and resources for decades.

The resurgence in fighting has caused a diplomatic rift with neighbouring Rwanda, which Congo accuses of backing the group. Rwanda has denied this.
