(Reuters) – Congolese rebel group M23 appears to be regrouping just two months after the Tutsi-led insurgency was defeated by Congolese troops and U.N. peacekeepers, the top U.N. official in the Democratic Republic of Congo said on Monday.

14 January 2014 – The United Nations today reported a new rebel attack in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) as the region continues to suffer from deadly violence even after the defeat of a major dissident group, the M23, over a month ago.

After a declassification review that lasted nearly twenty years, the history of CIA covert action in the Congo from 1960 to 1968 was finally published last week by the State Department, filling an awkward gap in the historical record.

A series of deadly attacks have been linked to discontent in DR Congo's resource-rich Katanga province.
A Congolese televangelist has gone into hiding after his followers staged a coordinated series of attacks on key security locations in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Joseph Mukungubila Mutombo, a former soldier and self-proclaimed prophet known for his stance against President Joseph Kabila, claims the attacks were a spontaneous "expression of anger" against a military assault on his house in the southern province of Katanga.

On December 10, rebel leader Paluku Hilaire Kombi, commander of roughly 280 rebel troops, surrenderedto the Congolese army. He reportedly turned himself in, along with five officers to the Congolese army in the village of Mbwavinywa in southern Lubero territory, North Kivu. Earlier on November 26, Governor of North Kivu Julien Paluku urged him and other groups in Beni and Lubero territories to give up on their insurgent activities.

The Democratic Republic of Congo and M23 rebels have signed agreements to end the conflict in the east of the country. But these agreements contradict one another, says political scientist Phil Clark from SOAS in London.

Paris — U.S. Special Envoy to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Russ Feingold has hailed as potentially historic a peace deal signed between the Congolese government and the M23 rebel movement. But Feingold, who attended the event in Nairobi, says much more needs to be done to turn around a country and region plagued by years of conflict.
