Dozens of Congolese demonstrated in the provincial capital of Goma on Thursday against what they described as the impotence of the countryâs armed forces, which allowed a rebel group to overrun the city a little over two weeks ago. They also decried the passivity of United Nations peacekeepers, who did little to stop the fighters saying it was not within their mandate. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)

M23 rebels withdraw from the eastern Congo town of Goma, Saturday Dec. 1, 2012. Sy Koumbo, a spokesman for the U.N. in Congo, says that an agreement was reached late Friday with M23 rebels after they attempted to force their way into Goma's international airport to seize arms. Koumbo says U.N. peacekeepers blocked the fighters. Trucks full of M23 rebels drove Saturday along the road that leads out of Goma towards Kibumba, where the rebels are supposed to settle following an agreement reached in Kampala last week.
