Renewed Conflict in Eastern Congo Challenges Peace Deal Brokered by President Trump
Renewed fighting in eastern Congo threatens a peace agreement signed by the Congolese and Rwandan presidents in Washington, D.C., with President Trump present. The deal aimed to halt the conflict between Congolese forces and the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group. Despite the agreement, residents report intensified fighting, particularly in Kamanyola, near the Rwanda and Burundi borders. The M23 rebels and Congolese forces accuse each other of violating the ceasefire. The conflict has displaced over 7 million people, with M23 supported by Rwandan troops.
