Tshisekedi, the president of the Congo, accused Rwanda of breaking a peace agreement

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi said on Monday that Rwanda had broken its promises to a U.S.-brokered peace deal that was meant to end years of fighting in the east of the country, which is full of minerals. This came just days after Tshisekedi attended a signing event in Washington, D.C.

In a speech to lawmakers, Tshisekedi made the claims. There was no answer right away from Rwanda. A U.S. source said that the Trump administration was keeping an eye on things and working with both sides. They also said that they expected peace agreements to be put into action right away.

Fighting has stopped attempts to start enforcing the terms of agreements that the US and Qatar helped to make between Congo, Rwanda, and the rebel group M23 a few months ago.

Over the weekend, M23 rebels backed by Rwanda moved into an area close to the border with Burundi and took over the town of Luvungi, according to two residents who spoke to Reuters and showed a video of the rebels meeting there. Rwanda says it is not helping the rebels.

Sources say that some Congolese troops left the town and fought with Wazalendo’s defense forces in the nearby town of Sange on Sunday.

As many as 36 people were killed when bombs or grenades hit Sange on Monday, according to an official and other reports. At first, it wasn’t clear who in the fight had fired or what kind of weapon had set off the explosion.

A source in civil society shared pictures of the bodies of people who had been killed. The bodies looked like they belonged to civilians wearing bright, non-military clothes, and they were covered in blood and lying at strange angles. Two small bodies that looked like little kids were found.

When asked for a response, the Congolese army did not answer right away. M23 also didn’t answer when asked for a statement.

Rwanda and Congo signed new agreements in Washington, D.C., last week. They also reaffirmed their pledge to a deal that the U.S. helped them make in June.

“We are still keeping a close eye on the situation, including places where actions on the ground don’t yet match up with the promises made,” the senior Trump administration source said.

“The president has made clear to both sides that implementation is what he will judge, and as he stated, he is expecting immediate results.”
