Tired of such kind of injustice, UN is fighting M23 and is the one to ask M23 to cease fire! Above that, UN and international communities request M23 to stop fighting! but what are you requesting to the Government of Congo? Those m23's are the rejected people of the DRC and whole world, what if they don't fight? they will be killed by the FARDC,FDLR and will have no where to go! I don't support wars but if you want to restore peace, its simple, ask the DRC to have peace agreement with them and handle the issue peacefully, otherwise don't expect sustainable peace in the Eastern region of Congo God bless Africa
