Rwanda’s Kagame gives cautious welcome to U.S.-brokered peace deal with Congo
- On June 27, 2025, in Washington's Oval Office, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a peace deal calling for Rwandan troop withdrawal within 90 days to end decades of armed conflict.
- Decades of violence in eastern DRC, with Rwandan-backed M23 rebels seizing territories, prompted a U.S.-brokered diplomatic effort to achieve peace.

- Despite the peace deal, M23 rejected its binding nature and continued pushing toward Uvira, with fighting ongoing amid allegations of Rwanda's backing, fueling persistent conflict.
- The peace deal aims to establish a regional investment framework for critical minerals, with a follow-up summit planned later this year to ensure economic integration and monitor progress.
