#RDC: Les États-Unis ont appelé, jeudi, au retrait immédiat des forces rwandaises de la RDC. Selon @US_SrAdvisorAF, Kinshasa s’est engagé de son côté, à neutraliser les FDLR dans les zones sous son contrôle.


It was an honor to chair today’s UN Security Council session on the situation in eastern DRC. I underscored the stakes for millions who have been denied peace, stability, and economic opportunity for far too long. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Washington Accords mark a pivotal step forward—reflecting a good-faith commitment by the DRC and Rwanda to move beyond confrontation and toward dialogue, cooperation, and lasting stability. The United States will remain a steadfast partner in implementing this vision and supporting a durable transformation for the DRC and the broader Great Lakes region.

CLARIFICATION OF INCIDENT AT WASHINGTON DC HOTEL An unarmed member of the security detail of a Rwandan VIP staying in a Washington DC hotel inadvertently encountered security agents of a DRC delegation in a hotel hallway accessible to all guests. Both delegations were staying at the same hotel. The Rwandan detail member was briefly restrained from accessing the elevator by the DRC security agents, which was inappropriate and wrong behavior in a common area, but the matter was eventually resolved without further escalation. Following this incident, the Rwandan party made a decision to change hotels, but were harassed and filmed by unknown persons as they checked out and departed. Despite this provocation, the Rwandan team was restrained and professional at all times, and carefully avoided any confrontation. There has been gross misrepresentation of what transpired, including blatant dishonesty by the DRC Minister of Information in a press conference last night. These contemptible lies should be disregarded and condemned. END
