The M23 armed group said Tuesday it would withdraw from the key city of Uvira in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo at the request of Washington, which vowed "action" over the "clear violation" of a US-brokered peace accord.
The Rwanda-backed militia seized the strategic city near the border with Burundi last Wednesday, days after the Congolese and Rwandan governments signed the peace deal in Washington -- an agreement US President Donald Trump had hailed as a "great miracle".
