US EditionCongo and Rwanda presidents to meet in the US to sign peace deal
The deal requires Rwanda to withdraw support for M23 rebels and excludes integrating M23 fighters, aiming to end conflict that displaced thousands, officials said.
- Congo's President Felix Tshisekedi will travel to the United States next week to sign a final agreement securing peace in eastern Congo, capping diplomatic efforts spearheaded by U.S. President Donald Trump.
- Eastern Congo has faced fighting between government forces and more than 100 armed groups, with the M23 rebels seizing Goma and Bukavu this year, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
- Tina Salama said the signing is conditioned on Rwanda withdrawing support for the M23 and must bar mixing or integration of M23 fighters, recalling the June-agreed withdrawal of Rwandan troops.
- Paul Kagame on Thursday expressed concern that Congolese authorities may be reneging on agreements and warned success depends on participants directly concerned committing fully.
- Framing the pact around regional integration and territorial integrity guides Congo's negotiating stance, with Tina Salama stating the territorial integrity of the DRC is `non-negotiable`.
