The parliament has withdrawn the military rule in eastern DR Congo
The parliament of the Democratic Republic of Congo has supported the withdrawal of military rule in the eastern regions of the country, which is suffering from insecurity.
In their vote at the three-day meeting, the majority of members of parliament agreed to suspend the martial law in force in the east of the country.
In May 2021, the country's government passed the law that established a military government in the region, eliminating civilians to fight against militant groups in Ituku and North Kivu.
However, in a report, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres said that the situation has worsened in the region, where at least four million people have lost their homes.
The government's spokesperson, Patrick Muyaya said that it is now waiting to see the action that President Félix Tshisekedi will take on the issue.
