US to continue to seek Syria strike support; Brotherhood supporters rally across Egypt; DR Congo rebels announce troop withdrawal The United States continues to seek support as United Kingdom backs away from military action in Syria. France has renewed calls for action, while Germany announced it would not be involved. US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel said on Friday that his country would continue to seek international partners who would "act together" in response to the alleged chemical weapons attack on August 21. Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood are protesting across Egypt against the country's military-backed interim government, amid a heavy security deployment. The Brotherhood's call for mass protests and sit-ins on Friday tests how much an ongoing security crackdown has crippled the group. The M23 rebel movement in the Democratic Republic of Congo will be withdrawing troops from the frontline of fighting with Congolese and UN forces, according to the group's chief. The withdrawal comes a day after a UN peacekeeper was killed and another seven wounded in fighting between the M23 and UN-assisted Congolese forces.
