Qatar to mediate talks between Congo and Rwanda
Qatar mediated a second round of talks between Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, and separately met representatives of the Rwandan-backed rebellion group M23, according to The New Arab.
Congo President Felix Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame met last week in Doha for their first talks since M23 rebels stepped up an offensive there in January.
The talks and subsequent call for a ceasefire, provided a glimmer of hope for a de-escalation of eastern Congo’s biggest conflict in decades.
