Qatar hosted a second round of talks on Friday between Congo and Rwanda and separately met with representatives of the Rwandan-backed rebellion waging an insurgency in eastern Congo, four sources told Reuters.
Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame met last week in Doha for their first talks since M23 rebels stepped up an offensive there in January.
Congolese and Rwandan officials held talks on Friday, while M23 representatives met separately with Qatari mediators, said two sources from the Congolese government and two from the rebels.
