The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda have agreed to a US-brokered peace deal in Washington, raising hopes that years of devastating fighting in eastern DRC can be brought to an end.
“Today, the violence and destruction comes to an end, and the entire region begins a new chapter of hope and opportunity, harmony, prosperity and peace,” US President Donald Trump said at a White House meeting with the foreign ministers of both countries, DRC's Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner and her Rwandan counterpart Olivier Nduhungirehe.
