The Democratic Republic of congo (DRC) has ​accused ​Rwanda of initiating attacks in violation of a recently⁣ signed peace agreement. President Felix Tshisekedi stated on Monday⁤ that Rwandan forces⁢ attacked multiple‌ locations within the South ⁣Kivu ⁣province.

US-Brokered Agreement⁣ breached

This accusation comes just days after President Tshisekedi and Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame ⁤formally signed a peace deal on December 4 in Washington,D.C. The agreement, facilitated by the United States, aimed to resolve years of conflict between the ⁢two nations.

As of today,⁢ December 10, 2025, the ⁣Rwandan government has not issued a public response to president Tshisekedi’s claims.

M23 ⁤Rebel Group Advances

President Tshisekedi also expressed concern over the movements ⁢of the M23 ⁣armed group, which has been‍ widely​ reported to receive support from the Rwandan government. He ⁣indicated that⁣ M23 is‍ rapidly advancing toward a town situated near the border wiht Burundi, potentially escalating ‌regional​ instability.

The fragile peace process now faces a critical test as ⁢the international community watches ⁣for a response from rwanda and assesses the implications for regional security. The‌ DRC and Rwanda​ have a long history of‍ conflict, frequently enough fueled by⁢ accusations of⁢ cross-border support ‍for rebel groups and disputes over resources.
