One year after the peace agreement brokered by former US President Donald Trump between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, the situation on the ground remains tense. The accord, aimed at ending the M23 rebellion and restoring stability in eastern DRC, has yielded mixed results. While diplomatic channels have opened, the M23 group continues to hold parts of Goma, as seen in this image of a soldier patrolling the city streets. The deal’s effectiveness is now under scrutiny, with regional leaders calling for renewed commitment from all parties.
