The March 23 Movement (M23) has been entrenched in conflict in North Kivu, DRC, for four years. Currently, the group is involved in stalled negotiations with the Congolese government, mediated by Qatar, over a potential peace deal. The M23 has established alliances with other armed groups and has internal tensions with the Congo River Alliance, its political umbrella. Rwandan support remains crucial for the M23's operations.
