Congo\u2019s President\u00a0Felix Tshisekedi\u00a0and Rwanda\u2019s President\u00a0Paul Kagame\u00a0were supposed to meet in Angola earlier this week. The parameters of discussion were supposed to cover the Easter Congo conflict between the Congolese army and M23 rebel group, which is allegedly backed by Rwanda. According to Tshisekedi, the Rwanda delegation refused to take part in the meeting, stated on X. &#8220;M23 is one of about 100 armed groups that have been vying for a foothold in mineral-rich eastern Congo near the border with Rwanda, in a conflict that has created one of the world\u2019s largest humanitarian crises.

Post-colonialism can be blamed for such, since post-colonialism caused post-colonial countries to lag behind in the international system in economics, power, and military. Although stunted, IGO&#8217;s such as the African Union promote the collective goods and the common wealth and security of Africa. It is then vital for this arrangement to be upheld by Rwanda. This will then allow a prosperous Africa, and a stable region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">     On an individual level of Analysis President\u00a0Felix Tshisekedi of Congo aims to secure his country&#8217;s borders. The encroachment of the M2 31ST rebel group, that allegedly is backed by Rwanda, is most definitely a national security threat, thus requiring immediate action. As he already tried for a meeting that failed to occur, it is only a matter of time before the situation potentially escalates. This is where the African Union could come in to promote peace and stability amongst the two countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/congo-rwanda-talks-angola-canceled-0177dc34c1b18b8b43599b3e9da54316 A planned meeting between the Congolese and Rwandan president have been postponed.
