In a statement read on State TV on Wednesday evening, he said the withdrawal of troops would “pave the way for their planned talks towards lasting peace”.
Minister Malawi’s Minister of Information Musa Kankov told the BBC News Day program that the planned withdrawal was “being made in good faith”.
He said that a meeting of South African leaders in Tanzania last week on the eve of the Africa Energy Summit, “only passed a resolution to pave the way for peaceful dialogue, to demand a ceasefire from all sides in the conflict.”
“As a result of the agreement, the president of Malawi has seen the withdrawal of troops from the region to take part in efforts to establish peace so that there is peaceful dialogue.
He did not indicate exactly when the troops would be discharged, but said that what was left is the “operational aspect” and that he decided the president of Dr. Congo and the South African block.
On Monday, Rwanda -backed M -3 rebel group announced a “unilateral ceasefire” for human reasons, which began the next day.
However, the fighting has resumed since then, and the rebels have allegedly taken the mining city of Nibabi in southern Kiwu province.
Malawi’s president has been under pressure to withdraw his country’s forces from Dr. Congo after the death of peace troops.
South Africa have faced similar pressure, but President Searle Ramfosa has vowed to keep his army in Dr. Congo, saying he is subject to the Samidrc mission “which has operational time frames and deadline.” The mission was initially deployed in 2023 and was extended by December last year.
Since his arrest on Goma, rebels have been trying to occupy areas in the southern Qi, especially the capital Bokau. Congress officials have added hundreds of civilian volunteers to help defend the city.
The rebel group has appointed senior officials, including the North Qi Governor, for the management of the area.
The UN says about 3,000 people were killed during a violent campaign to seize the M33 Goma.
There are concerns that diseases like MPOX and cholera can spread beyond the city.
