Peace Hope in the Congo: Waffe arrest reached with M23 rebels!
Washington, USA - The conflict between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the rebel group M23 has reached a new turning point. Kleine Zeitung reported that today a ceasefire was decided between the two parties. Both sides have undertaken to sign a comprehensive peace agreement by August 18. This agreement is the result of months of mediation by Qatar, which took place in the face of a constantly tightening conflict.
The conflict that rages in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo has deeply rooted origins. The tensions are the result of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and the struggle for valuable resources in the Region. The M23 is accused of being military supported by Rwanda, which leads to the escalation of the clashes. The United Nations urgently warned of the consequences of a possible regional war.
US mediation and peace agreement
In a further step towards the de -escalation of the conflict, a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda was signed on June 28, which was also conveyed by the USA. Tagesschau mentioned that the signing took place in Washington. US President Donald Trump was recognized for his personal commitment in the negotiations. The agreement should end the decades of conflict in the east of the country.The agreement immediately comes into force and includes several important points, including respect for territorial integrity, a ban on hostility as well as the withdrawal and the decommissioning of non -governmental armed groups. In addition, measures to return refugees and internally displaced people as well as access to humanitarian aid are set.
Humanitarian crisis in the region
The humanitarian Situation in the Congo has dramatically deteriorated since the advance of the M23. According to a report by Deutschlandfunk there are now more than 500,000 inland-displaced people, and the estimates quantify the number of people who suffer from nutritional uncertainty. The UN envoy for the Congo, Keita, informed the Security Council about the worrying situation and confirmed that the M23 received military support from Rwanda.
The effects of violence are never far away, with hundreds of dead and thousands of injuries who have been complained about since the beginning of the year. The condition in the region remains critical, and the international organizations appeal to everyone involved in taking the peace agreement seriously and contributing to the stabilization of the situation.
