Trump Hosts Peace Summit as DR Congo and Rwanda Agree to Sign Washington Deal Amid Escalating M23 Conflict
The Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda are set to sign a US-brokered peace deal in Washington, hosted by President Donald Trump, despite ongoing clashes between DR Congo’s army and M23 rebels in the east. The agreement aims to end years of cross-border tensions, even as the M23 launches fresh offensives and regional forces engage in coordinated operations. Analysts warn that the signing may offer symbolic progress but is unlikely to halt hostilities without major concessions, including the withdrawal of Rwandan troops and disarmament of FDLR militias. The US and Qatar are driving the mediation, linking peace to future cooperation on energy, mining and regional infrastructure.
