The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the March 23 Movement (M23) rebel group are preparing to resume peace talks in Doha, Qatar, following a US-brokered peace agreement. Despite the recent deal signed last week between the DRC and Rwanda, Rwandan President Paul Kagame expressed uncertainty about the agreement's durability and warned of a firm response to any violations. Kagame emphasized that the implementation of the Washington agreement depends on the signatories and highlighted concerns over the persistent threat posed by the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). He described the negotiations in Washington and Doha as "two sides of the same coin." The Congo River Alliance, a politico-military coalition allied with M23, confirmed the upcoming talks. The peace deal has faced scrutiny for lacking coercive measures against parties violating it, with calls for stronger enforcement. Rwanda also stressed that maintaining peace within Africa is essential for sustainable growth.
