KAMPALA - Uganda's military chief said on Tuesday that the leader of the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colonel Sultani Makenga, has agreed to withdraw from the eastern cities of Goma and Sake.

African leaders called on the rebels on Saturday to abandon their aim of toppling the government and leave the city of Goma they captured last week, hoping to prevent a descent into all-out war in a region dogged by nearly two decades of conflict.

"We met last night and I communicated to him the decision of regional leaders reached on Saturday and he accepted to pull back his forces out of Goma and Sake and also stop any further advances southward," Uganda's chief of defence forces, Aronda Nyakayirima, told Reuters.
