DR Congo and Rwanda agree to ease tensions after talks in US
DR Congo and Rwanda committed to mutual sovereignty respect, force disengagement, and intensified efforts to neutralize armed groups amid ongoing conflict, US-led talks said.
- On Thursday, Congolese and Rwandan officials met in Washington and agreed on coordinated steps to de-escalate tensions in eastern Congo, where government troops fight rebels backed by Rwanda.
- The pledge follows United States sanctions earlier this month against the Rwandan Defence Forces, which officials accused of supporting the M23 rebel group, continuing conflict despite a peace deal signed last year by President Donald Trump.
- Rwanda agreed to disengage forces and lift "defensive measures... in defined areas in Congo's territory," while Congo committed to "intensified efforts" to neutralize the FDLR, an armed group involved in the 1994 genocide.
