The presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) signed a peace agreement in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. U.S. President Donald Trump personally mediated the deal.
The signing occurred despite reports of renewed violent clashes in eastern DRC. This region has experienced decades of conflict involving rebel groups and neighboring armies.
The agreement aims to reduce tensions and normalize relations between the two nations. Specific details of the deal were not immediately released.
Both leaders committed to implementing the terms under continued U.S. oversight. The ongoing violence presents an immediate challenge to the deal's stability.
