US EditionThe U.S. says Congo and Rwanda submit a draft peace proposal
- On May 5, as part of a U.S.-mediated effort to resolve the conflict in eastern Congo, officials from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo presented a preliminary peace agreement.
- The long-standing conflict intensified early in the year when the M23 rebel group, supported by Rwanda, captured key cities, leading to increased efforts to mediate the crisis.
- The proposal follows a pledge signed last month overseen by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with Congo and Rwanda seeking U.S. Involvement and investment to calm the violence.
- Massad Boulos described the draft proposal as a significant advancement, with officials anticipating that the final peace agreement will be endorsed around mid-June during a ceremony hosted at the White House attended by regional leaders.
- The agreement has the potential to establish lasting peace and attract increased investment from the United States and Western countries, although ongoing security risks and human rights issues remain significant concerns.
