The U.S. says Congo and Rwanda submit a draft peace proposal

On Monday, Congo and Rwanda presented a preliminary peace plan as part of a U.S.-facilitated initiative aimed at resolving the conflict in eastern Congo.
This submission follows escalating violence since January, including Rwanda-backed M23 rebels capturing Goma and Bukavu, amid long-standing regional instability.
The proposal aims to resolve decades of conflict that displaced over 7 million people and killed around 3,000, with peace talks moving toward a final agreement planned for mid-June.
U.S. Adviser Massad Boulos called the draft "an important step," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that durable peace would attract substantial Western investments and economic opportunities.
If successful, the agreement could stabilize the resource-rich region through joint security mechanisms addressing threats like the FDLR, though some analysts warn U.S. Involvement may exacerbate militia violence and corruption.
