Presidents of Rwanda and DR Congo Call for Ceasefire After Peace Talks in Qatar 

HeadlineMar 19, 2025

Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi and Rwandan President Paul Kagame have called for an immediate ceasefire in the eastern DRC, following peace talks in Doha mediated by Qatar’s government. They were the first direct talks between the nations since Rwanda-backed M23 fighters seized two major cities in the eastern DRC earlier this year in a major offensive that left 7,000 people dead. Tuesday’s talks in Qatar came after M23 representatives backed out of scheduled peace talks in Angola’s capital.
