DRC's president urged Rwanda to stop backing M23 rebels and pursue peace at a Brussels forum, stressing diplomacy over sanctions.
On October 9, 2025, DRC President Félix Tshisekedi publicly urged Rwandan President Paul Kagame to end support for the M23 rebel group and pursue peace during the EU’s Global Gateway Forum in Brussels, calling for an immediate ceasefire and dialogue amid ongoing violence that has killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands.
Tshisekedi emphasized the need for courage and honesty between leaders, delaying potential sanctions to allow diplomacy a chance.
Kagame, present at the event, did not respond directly but acknowledged shared momentum for peace and investment.
Despite a June U.S.-brokered agreement and a July declaration of principles aimed at a permanent ceasefire, progress remains limited, with M23 retaining control over key eastern DRC cities like Goma and Bukavu.
The region continues to face severe humanitarian and economic challenges.
