Trump's 'historic' peace deal for DR Congo shattered after rebels seize key city
Published: 12/13/2025

The recent peace deal for DR Congo brokered by President Trump has been shattered as rebels seize the key city of Uvira, despite the historic agreement signed just over a week ago in Washington. The M23 rebels, backed by Rwanda according to US officials, captured Uvira in a move to gain leverage in ongoing negotiations. The conflict escalates as Rwanda and the rebels deny allegations, leading to further instability in the Great Lakes region and jeopardizing the peace process.
