The AFC/M23 rebel group withdrew from several positions in South Kivu over the weekend, moving from Kabunambo to Luvungi. It is the first notable frontline movement since the rebels briefly captured Uvira in December. The withdrawal followed military pressure from the Congolese army and diplomatic intervention from United States officials.
