Hey everyone! Big news from Africa – Rwanda and the DR Congo have just signed a U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington. This move aims to end the fighting that has sadly taken so many lives and displaced countless people. 🙌
The deal calls for Rwandan troops to withdraw from eastern DR Congo within 90 days, setting the stage for a smoother regional integration framework that could attract billions in Western investment.
