Rwanda dr Congo: implementing peace accords remains critical

Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olivier Nduhungirehe, joined the program this week to discuss the latest developments in relations between Kigali and Kinshasa following the sixth joint committee meeting held in London. The gathering underscored commitments to reduce tensions, particularly in the Minembwe region, and expand the ceasefire verification mechanism. Yet, these assurances come amid escalating pressure from Washington, which has imposed sanctions on Rwandan officials and businesses suspected of facilitating the illicit trade of gold and coltan from areas controlled by armed groups like the M23/AFRC.
