Rwanda and DR Congo conclude a peace agreement mediated by the US
The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace
agreement brokered by the United States, aimed at ending decades of
conflict and promote development in eastern Congo.
The deal has provisions on territorial integrity, prohibition of hostilities and the disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration of non-state armed groups.
It also paves the way for the US government and American companies to gain access to critical minerals in the region.
US President Donald Trump said he had brokered a deal for "one of the worst wars anyone has ever seen," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the agreement as "an important moment after 30 years of war."
