US-led talks in Washington aim to revive peace efforts in eastern Congo, involving representatives from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. The discussions focus on addressing ongoing accusations of Rwanda backing the M23 rebel group, which has been fueling violence in the region. The conflict is rooted in deep ethnic tensions, with M23 fighting to protect Tutsi communities and the FDLR group, formed by Hutus who fled Rwanda after the 1994 genocide, operating as a key adversary. Both sides have committed to concrete steps to ease tensions, including respecting borders, Rwanda withdrawing forces, Congo ramping up efforts against the FDLR, and prioritizing civilian safety. This builds on a December peace agreement signed in Washington, but tensions remain high due to the border situation and potential for a wider regional war.
