US EditionCongo and Rwanda will sign a US-mediated peace deal to end the conflict in eastern Congo
- A peace accord facilitated by the United States is scheduled to be endorsed in Washington on June 27, 2025, between Kigali and Kinshasa to bring an end to long-standing violence in eastern Congo.
- The agreement builds upon a prior deal established in Luanda earlier in October 2024 and seeks to end armed conflict and disarm militant groups amid persistent violence driven by competition over mineral wealth.
- Eastern Congo's conflict involves millions displaced, widespread sexual violence, and the M23 rebel group's resurgence linked to the region's vast mineral wealth essential for global technologies.
- Critics warn the deal overlooks justice for victims, imposes a partnership between victim and aggressor, and risks legitimizing resource exploitation that favors foreign interests over Congolese communities.
- While the agreement promises to stabilize the region and improve US access to minerals, experts emphasize true peace requires transparency, justice, and equitable management of Congo's resources.
