DR Congo-Rwanda peace deal met with scepticism in rebel-held city
The peace deal signed between DR Congo and Rwanda in Washington faces skepticism, with former Congolese president Joseph Kabila dismissing it as merely a trade agreement. The agreement aims to address armed conflict in eastern DR Congo, demanding disengagement of armed groups, but lacks specific details. While some view it as a positive step, criticism arises over the exclusion of key parties like the rebel group M23, as concerns linger about the deal's implementation and potential impacts on the region's resources.
