Rebels withdraw from the Masisi and Sake areas in eastern Congo in November 2012. Rebels have been retreating from previously captured villages in hopes of obtaining a ceasefire with the government. Presidents of Congo and Rwanda call for peace talks Hope for dialouge between rebels and government renew JOHANNESBURG (AP) - The presidents of Congo and Rwanda on Thursday called for peace talks to quickly resume between the Congolese gov- ernment and a rebel movement that is widely believed to be backed by Rwanda. The summit organized in Uganda's capital marked a rare opportunity for Congolese Presi- dent Joseph Kabilaand Rwandan President Paul Kagame to hold face-to-face meetings at a time when their countries are on edge over Rwanda's alleged military involvement in eastern Congo. The negotiations between the Congolese government and the M23 rebels have repeatedly stalled since late last year. In a statement issued late Thursday, the presidents and other regionalleaders called for peace talks to resume within three days' time "and conclude within a maximum periodof14 days during which maximum restraint must be exercised on the ground to allow for talks to conclude." In August, Congolese troops backed by U.N. forces battled M23 rebels near the eastern city of Goma, home to nearly 1 million people along the Rwan- dan border. Rwanda accused the Congolese military of firing missiles across the border and warned that "this provocation can no longer be tolerated." Then the M23 rebels last week declared a unilateral cease-fire following a week of heavy fighting with the Congo- lese troops, saying they want- ed to "give peace a chance," although Congo's government said it wants M23 disbanded. Congo's government now will be less keen on the talks as its army and a newly strength- ened U.N. intervention force appear to have the upper hand in the most recent clashes with the rebels, according to Jason Stearns, a Congo expert who runs the Usalama Project, a think tank that researches Congo's armed groups. "The primary drive to get back to the negotiating table is coming from Uganda and Rwanda," he said. "They (Con- go's government) feel that they are in a position of strength." Congo's government would be interested in talks that can lead to "the decapitation of M23," he added. Thursday's meeting in the Ugandan capital of Kampala was called by Ugandan Presi- dent Yoweri Museveni "to stop the fighting and get beck on the negotiating table," according to James Mugume, the perma- nent secretary at Uganda's For- eign Ministry. The summit in Kampala was organized under the banner of a regional bloc called the Inter- national Conference on the Great Lakes Region. It also was attended by United Nations spe- cial envoy Mary Robinson, who has urged a political solution to a crisis that recently threatened to spill over Congo's borders. In their statement Thursday, the presidents said they "strong- ly condemn" the deaths of civil- ians on both sides of the border and also urged M23 to stop its threats. "M23 should put an end to all military activities, and stop war and threats of overthrow- ing the lawful government of (Congo)," said the state- ment signed by the presidents including Rwanda's Kagame.
