GOMA (Reuters) - The leader of the rebel alliance that has seized swathes of east Congo told Reuters on Thursday that the group was not bound by a ceasefire call issued during a surprise meeting in Qatar between the presidents of Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame met in Doha on Tuesday for the first time since the latest M23 advance that has seen the rebels seize more territory than ever before.
