US EditionTrump to Host DR Congo's Félix Tshisekedi and Rwanda's Paul Kagame to Sign Peace Deal
The US-mediated deal aims to end decades of conflict and open regional economic cooperation, with DR Congo holding $25 trillion in mineral reserves, officials said.
- Hosting Kagame and Tshisekedi, President Trump will host the Washington Accords signing in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, December 4, White House says.
- After months of U.S.-brokered talks, the signing caps negotiations building on the June foreign-minister pact and November frameworks in Qatar, aiming to coordinate security against the FDLR militia.
- UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights reported at least 319 civilians killed in North Kivu by M23 fighters aided by Rwanda Defence Force, while fresh clashes erupted Tuesday near Uvira.
- The pact ties security to economic incentives, with a Regional Economic Integration Framework that could boost U.S.-driven investment and access to DR Congo's mineral reserves valued at over $25 trillion, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce hosting American business leaders on Thursday.
- Regional affairs analyst Albert Rudatsimburwa warned `We have never seen any agreements hold`, cautioning that implementation, not the ceremony, will determine peace's longevity.
