Conflict Persists in Congo Despite Peace Deal

Despite a high-profile meeting in Washington, fighting persists in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. President Trump hosted Congo and Rwanda leaders to sign agreements aiming to end conflict and open mining investments. However, the Rwandan-backed AFC/M23 rebel group and Congolese army continue to blame each other for ongoing clashes, with civilians suffering heavy displacement and loss of life. Analysts suggest US diplomacy may have paused escalation but hasnt resolved core issues, as neither country has fully delivered on June agreement promises. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
