The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda have signed a deal to finish their long-running battle.
Years of preventing between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda could also be at an finish – because of a peace deal signed in the USA.
Rwanda has agreed to take away 1000’s of troops from jap Congo that have been supporting the Rwandan-backed armed group M23, because it took management of main cities and mining areas.
That was extensively seen as a significant escalation and stoked fears of a regional battle.
So can this settlement succeed the place many others have failed?
And is that this deal actually about US pursuits in Congolese minerals?
