African forces left Goma city on Tuesday through a border point into Rwanda. They pulled back after M23 rebels took over the key eastern Congo area. The troops from South Africa, Malawi, and Tanzania had tried since late 2023 to help the Congolese army fight M23 fighters. Military trucks crossed the border as officials from both countries watched.

The mission failed when rebels captured Goma in January. Foreign soldiers faced problems with mountain fighting and working with local troops. Many attacks caught them off guard during their time there. Political fights between Congo and Rwanda made things worse throughout the conflict.

Peace talks in Qatar have started as the troops leave. M23 forces control security in Goma right now. More than 1.5 million people ran from their homes during the fighting. Many live in camps near Goma or escaped to Rwanda for safety. The rebels say the government broke promises from earlier peace deals.
