However, ceasefire agreements in the past have not stopped the violence between the two countries. The deal said that the Eastern part of the DRC, which is full of natural resources and minerals, would hold United States public and private investors. Both countries, along with the United States, have agreed to draft joint security programs to stop armed groups and criminal organizations. The foreign minister of Rwanda, Olivier Nduhungirehe, said this deal is the start of permanent peace agreements for the future. The U.S. has plans to invest billions of dollars into the DRC if they come up with another agreement on securing the minerals in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article is essential because it shows how the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda are working towards ending the conflict between the DRC and M23. Both countries are planning to end their support for different armed rebel groups related to the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which could lead to a permanent peace agreement between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda should work together to end the conflict in the DRC. Rwanda should focus on disarming M23 and stop supporting them. With the United States investing in the DRC\u2019s mineral sector, Rwanda\u2019s efforts to take over the minerals in the East of the DRC will fail due to the incoming U.S. military presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article directly relates to what we are learning in class by discussing a lack of state capacity for prevention that directly violates human rights. Since the Democratic Republic of the Congo cannot fight the M23 rebels invading the eastern part of the country, the citizens are forced to endure the conflict with very little military protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link To Article On Friday, April 25, 2025, The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda stated they would create a peace deal and end supporting rebel groups before May 2, 2025.
