> Conflict has been simmering in eastern Congo for decades where more than 120 armed groups are fighting in the region, most for land and control of mines with valuable minerals, while some groups are trying to protect their communities.

> The group derives its name from a peace agreement signed on March 23, 2009 which called for the rebels to be integrated into the Congo army.

> Tensions are also rising with Congo's neighbor Rwanda, which it accuses of supporting the M23 rebels, findings backed by the UN. Earlier this week the M23 said it was retreating from Kibumba, a town near Goma which it held for several weeks, as part of an agreement made last month at a summit in Angola, said Lawrence Kanyuka the M23′s political spokesman in a statement.
