DR Congo and Rwanda Commit to U.S.-Brokered Peace Deal

The presidents of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda have formally agreed to a peace deal. The agreement aims to end decades of conflict in eastern DR Congo. President Felix Tshisekedi of the DR Congo and Rwanda's President Paul Kagame signed the accord. The United States, under former President Donald Trump, helped negotiate the deal. The conflict involves numerous armed groups and has caused a severe humanitarian crisis. Both nations now vow to uphold the terms, which include ceasing support for these rebel factions. International observers will monitor the implementation closely. The deal represents a significant, though fragile, step toward stabilizing the volatile region.
