## What are the challenges facing the Mecca agreement.
Stalled for months, the peace process in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo appears to be gaining momentum.
The Rwandan-backed M23 rebel group has accepted 15 prisoners released by the government in Kinshasa. The handover is part of a framework agreement signed last year, after talks mediated by Qatar.
It may be a small step, but it could pave the way to ending the fighting in the eastern DRC. Previous attempts have failed to bring peace to the region.
Could this mechanism address the core issues of the long-running conflict.
