US scolds Rwanda for breaking peace deal as M23 rebels seize key Congo city
AI Summary
The US has accused Rwanda of violating a US-brokered peace agreement by supporting the M23 rebels' offensive in eastern Congo. US Ambassador Mike Waltz stated the US is "profoundly concerned" and warned of actions against those destabilizing peace. The M23 rebels have escalated attacks in Congo's South Kivu province, resulting in over 400 civilian deaths and the capture of the strategic city of Uvira.

The US is urging restraint from all parties and engaging in diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.
