The UK has issued a statement following the capture of the town of Masisi in DRC by M23.
A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development spokesperson said:
"The UK condemns the capture of Masisi, in North Kivu, by the armed group M23.
"This is a clear violation of the ceasefire and undermines efforts taken through the Luanda process to achieve sustainable peace in Eastern DRC.
"The UK calls for urgent de-escalation and respect of DRC's territorial integrity. We urge Rwanda and DRC to return to the negotiating table and to implement all commitments made under the Angolan-led Luanda process. An end to the conflict in Eastern DRC will create peace dividends for all."
