US EditionTrump to Host DR Congo's Félix Tshisekedi and Rwanda's Paul Kagame to Sign Peace Deal
The Washington Accords seek to end decades of conflict in eastern DR Congo and open U.S. investment in critical minerals amid ongoing violence and displacement.
- On Thursday, President Donald J. Trump will bring Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda, and Félix Tshisekedi, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Washington to sign a peace and economic agreement at the newly renamed Donald J. Trump US Institute of Peace.
- Built on earlier pacts, the United States mediation team and Qatar led talks based on the June 27, 2025 Washington Accord and the Doha framework, focusing on ceasefires, troop withdrawals, and disarmament with the M23 rebel group.
- In recent months, the M23 rebel group seized Goma and Bukavu, displacing over 100,000 last month, while Rene Chubaka Kalembire said `Many houses have been bombed, and there are many dead`.
- Tying minerals to security, the deal pairs security commitments with a strategic partnership granting the United States access to DR Congo cobalt, while William Ruto, President of Kenya, serves as guarantor amid UN and African Union pressure.
- Despite diplomatic momentum, observers note past ceasefires repeatedly failed and local activists and eastern Congolese civilians express doubt, with Passy Mubalama saying `People are still being killed& The situation is still very difficult here`.
