DR Congo and Rwanda signed a long-awaited peace deal in Washington D.C., aimed at ending decades of conflict. The agreement, hailed as a major breakthrough by US President Trump, calls for the disengagement, disarmament, and integration of armed groups in eastern DR Congo. While details remain scarce and past peace deals have failed, the deal addresses concerns over Rwandan troop presence and the return of refugees. The agreement's success hinges on the full withdrawal of Rwandan troops and the disarmament of rebel groups like the M23 and FDLR, raising questions about its long-term effectiveness.
