M23 fighters in eastern Congo say ending rebellion

GOMA, Congo (AP) — A leader of the M23 rebel group in eastern Congo said today his movement is ending its rebellion after more than a year and a half of fighting as the Congolese military seized the last two hills that had been held by the fighters. The group will seek to resolve its grievances through “political means only,” said M23 President Bertrand Bisimwa in a statement released early today.
