<p>The new framework, which is ambitious in scope but light on details, marks the latest attempt to bring stability to the vast country of 68 million, which sits at the art of the African continent. Conflicts have plagued the mineral-rich DRC and surrounding nations for decades; the most recent major disruption came last November, when a rebel groups called M23 briefly seized the town of Goma on the DRC's eastern border.</p></div></div></div>
