US EditionPeace Deal with Rwanda Opens Way to 'New Era', Says DR Congo President
- On June 27, 2025, officials from both nations signed a peace deal at the White House aimed at ending the prolonged conflict in eastern Congo.
- The conflict stemmed from the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group’s control of key eastern cities, causing widespread violence, displacement, and deaths for decades.
- The agreement requires both countries to respect sovereignty, cease support to armed groups, permit refugee returns, and promote economic integration, while excluding M23 from talks.
- Residents remain doubtful that M23 will pull back, with Kahambu Mulavi expressing that there is no sign suggesting the group plans to retreat, while locals continue to see little advantage from the region's mineral resources.
- Though the deal offers prospects for peace and US mineral access, observers warn enforcement challenges and ongoing security problems may limit lasting stability in the region.
