WASHINGTON BROKERS HISTORIC PEACE DEAL BETWEEN RWANDA & DRC

After years of devastating conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a new chapter may finally be within reach. This week’s Washington Peace Accords, signed by President Félix Tshisekedi of the DRC and President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, mark the most promising diplomatic breakthrough in decades. The agreement—brokered with heavy U.S. involvement—aims to end hostilities, withdraw fighters, open humanitarian corridors, and lay the groundwork for regional economic integration. Joining me tonight is Geselle Basiima, a Congolese businesswoman whose community has lived through the trauma of this conflict and who understands better than most what peace—or the absence of it—truly means. And Claude Gatebuke, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide. He is the Executive Director of the African Great Lakes Action Network.
