Tensions between Rwanda and the DRC are back at the negotiating table in Geneva, but peace remains elusive as fighting rages on in eastern Congo. Despite the Washington deal’s promise to neutralize the FDLR—a group Rwanda sees as a border threat—the two nations clash over progress, with Rwanda accusing Congo of insufficient action and Congo accusing Rwanda of regional expansionism.

For civilians in eastern Congo, the real measure of success is whether the violence stops and their lives can return to normal—making this diplomatic push not just about agreements, but about survival.
